Spent ages scrolling back to copy McAfee
The biggest pain in the a$$ software.
The IT field is filled with two types of people, those that know what there doing and those that have been there since 1992 and think they know what they are doing.
"He has been here since 1992, John is 67, but will not take retirement, he keeps us all in check and we cannot do anything, he just upgraded us to windows 2000"
I have heard that, thats a real sentenance at an interview.
The people that hire you are idiots 90% of the time.
They interview you becuase the person that runs the show is too busy. lol
Whats with the firefighting, every interview or visit to an IT department is like visiting Iraq, people running around, terminal 2 is down, what do we do, i got a call from sales on 3rd floor, there email is down, who do tell, Janet Chadderdon wants how to do an out of office reply right now, she needs you now.
Thats all i see.
Dam people, you all run nothing, my job is 90% foresight, 9% hands on and 1% firefighting.
If you cannot just sit in front of your computer for a whole day (8 hours) and not get one phone call, you are either dumb or in the wrong job.
btw, in case you wanna bitch about networks, i run a 1000 node network.
So, the point is, kick all these old DOS, Win 95 people out and we may have a chance at getting people that are living in today, into companies.
Thats you i am talking about.
