Magical things from my head and the Web
Mike (my boss / partner in crime / ultimate pub quiz partner) pointed me at this post on StorageRap, which I’ll reproduce for you, saying what’s wrong with the sysadmin’s job.
Wear the beeper 24 x 7? The sysadmin.
Have almost every thought interrupted? The sysadmin.
Mind the gap between hype and reality? The sysadmin.
Watch over the “minor details”? The sysadmin.
Listen to hold music while a blowtorch singes the body part that gets copied? The sysadmin.
Have purchase recommendations be ignored political decree? The sysadmin.
Face the wrath when somebody else’s bad idea breaks? The sysadmin.
Stay at work while the bosses go out for a round of mucky muck? The sysadmin.
Have everybody else tell them what they really ought to be doing? The sysadmin.
Bit depressing, right? Well, let’s add some sparkle.
You know, it’s not so bad.
