As some of you may know (or not), I'm a sysadmin.
You know, the guy who fine tune your network, who makes the mac and the pc talk to each other (way more easy to do on the mac side, btw), monitor the servers, spends half of his day off (even if it's a day off because you're ******** sick) repairing a godamn server...Well, that's me.
You don't know how to send a email ? Here I come. You couldn't know that 50 ******** megs attached file can't get through the mail server ? I'm here.
You broke the sodding copier ? I'd fix it.
Your phone doesn't work anymore ? heh, gimme a screwdriver and I'll repair the cable.
You may think it's one of the coolest job on earth : good paycheck, close to no work on normal days, everyone thinking you're a genius for fixing so many things.
Get this : it's not. Absolutely not. You can't go bofh on everyone who pisses you. There is no such thing as "a normal day". Every ******** minute is another mindnumbing, endless source of pain. If you've got no work to do, you're supposed to work on the network or on the servers so no s**t could happen.If it happens (and it will, especially if like me you monitor windows servers), there will be 5 or 6 persons on your back to give you s**t for it, cos, you know, saying it's crappy isn't enough, you should have made windows the stablest OS on earth.
I seriously advice every of you against becoming a sysadmin. Ever.
And don't forget that once you' ll be one (cos no one will listen to me), all your friends and neighbours will come to you each time their pcs are going down the hill.
The best advice I could give to a sysadmin is that he should never tell anyone he's working as a sysadmin, and the most important is :
Never do this at home, kids.
