Seriously though, once you've semi-transitioned into a management position, don't expect to have any time to do any other work during normal hours.
You'll spend 120% of your time in meetings, doing paperwork, reporting on issues to upper management, delivering managements responses to underlings and never have a moment to yourself.
You'll find yourself doing your own tasks after that, so that a normal 40 hour week will become a normal 60 to 80 hour week, and you'll still feel like you're falling behind.
However in today's litiguous society, proclaiming that a specific format is xyz, and not being xyz, will lead to State AG investigations (when the states buy into the scam due to M$ hype), and class-action law-suits.
So by all means MS, please - continue. I look forward to joining in the multitude of lawsuits for falsifying official state and federal documents proclaiming open and interoperative standard, when it obviously isn't.
Keep track of uptime. Are the systems only down for scheduled maintenance? If they are down outside of scheduled maintenance windows, what is the percentage? Was it hardware or software or a mix (old firmware with updated driver requiring newer firmware), etc...
Was the outage extended due to vendor timing? if so, maybe stock of typical spare components should be maintained to shorten the window.
Typical maintenance like adding/deleting/unlocking user accounts, resetting passwords, printer maintenance, disk admin should be a small part of an admins day. The rest should be keeping an eye out on the real world looking for potential problems like security vulnerabilities, patches, planning the next updates / upgrades.
Tell the bean counters that their demands to quantify everything will only reduce uptime and complicate matters to where you spend more time doing paperwork than you do managing systems. If they can't understand that, it's time to go elsewhere. Be sure to tell the bean counter that they'll be lucky to find anyone talented to work under their regime.
I've seen systems that went from 20% loaded to always overloaded because of the number of *accounting* applications, programs and monitoring solutions that were *demanded* by the bean counters. After a user and business unit rebellion, the *fluff* was removed, as was the bean counter. This left the systems running in a state where the end users could do their work, and the business units had satisfied customers.
You seem to have to think I give a damn about the differences in effects between alcohol and other drugs.
Currently if someone drinks and drives there's a mixed effect. Different states have different penalties for drinking and driving. If someone gets got with drugs or under the influence of drugs, there's stiffer penalties.
Let's make the penalty the same for all of them - and no, I don't mean make drugs legal.
Let's make it 1 strike, and the person is done driving for life.
They lose their license, and their car is crushed into a cube, placed on their lawn.
I say it's better that, than to continue to give them opportunities to kill someone because they habitually make bad choices.
If they buy another car, or borrow someone else's car and go drive again, then they get sent to the slammer for life.
Almost all drugs have a history of causing recless or violent behavior - either while on them, or when off of them, wanting to get back on them.
While alcohol will impair (slow down reaction times, etc), many drugs will have you seeing things that aren't there, or not see things that are, or worse yet - see what is there, but just not care.
It's a different type of intoxication with either different or more pronounced effects when compared to alcohol.
If you decide to drink or do drugs, you need to decide to lose your keys first.
If you choose to drink or do drugs you should never have the opportunity to drive until you're stone cold sober.

I'd be tempted to try the Mac OS as long as I can do it on a system that I myself built.
I don't trust anyone else to build my machines. I sure as hell wouldn't trust Apple.
Expensive, locked in for upgrades, ooh - stylish? eh? wow - it won't run half of what I need, but it looks cool doesn't pay the bills.
Oh - and once they get ZFS ported to Mac OSX, they may actually have a filesystem that's trustworthy...
120% - 40 hour week - 50 hours doing xyz - then extra time to do your own work.
Not exagerationg, but that's okay... I forgive you for not understanding. You haven't transitioned to management yet... =D

Actually it's against their best interests to vote yes, as the M$ proposed standard is broken and cannot work as presented.
A vote yes is a vote to ratify a non-functional standard.
How is that beneficial?
I for one am glad that we don't have military grade batteries.
I used them during my stint in the military, they sucked.
We always bought bulk (Pick your favorite brand-name here) to take into the field with us.
Carefull there - better get back to sucking Mr. G's dick, or you might miss a load.
Any noticeable decrease in performance when playing a sound stream through a hardware subsystem (ie sound card) is not acceptable.

Not saying they didn't drink.
I'm saying they did it secretly or in private.
They didn't flaunt it in front of the public or the police.
Think about it.
The logic is not faulty if you understand that it's based on more than you realise.
Due to the fact that the drugs are illegal, most do not wish to be caught in possession or under the influence.
Once legal, they won't worry about it, just like most don't worry about alcohol.
We can't even keep people from drinking and driving...
Now you want to have people using even more mind / mood altering drugs on the road?

Which will be the one who removes DRM entirely from their media.
The next question would be was everything hardware accelerated, or were some directx software effects (echos, SRS, etc) in use?
Were they using software based sound systems (ie - integrated into the motherboard), or were they using dedicated hardware?
Wasn't there also a recent addition to this though?
ie - where heat is first converted to sound, then to electricity, at a much higher efficiency...
I'm sure it's still new enough that it hasn't been scaled to this level, yet the possibilities...

How many of you use your hosts file to redirect/block ad sites by using 127.0.0.1 as their address?
Ahhh - sort of like how "Linux" is used in the place of "Operating System", when it's really just a kernel...
I get it...
