yeah give me hurricanes. i like disasters i can see coming far enough in advance to have a map of where it is and track the thing daily.
as it happens, i am one of the last people to leave the building when a hurricane approaches. when we go under warning (24 hours out) we take down the datacenter and power down the building. then i can get in my car and drive away. not like a tornado or earthquake.
i'd wager more than a few work in information security. the longer you work in security fields the more paranoid you tend to become, probably due to reading about breaches over and over.
sysadmin jobs in a bank are boring *until* something breaks. then things get real interesting very quickly. you face losing money so management breathes down your neck while you think fast and start flexing your skillset. it's fun and the time flies by, sometimes too quickly. personally, i love it:o
the most valuable learning experiences i had starting out were when someone took me under their wing. my first job was a contract for a major sporting goods company. a hired gun who also contracted but had his project delayed said, "we are going to take every case in the problem queue and work them together." this was not his job - he was happy to teach me, and boy did i learn.
at my next job, a guru who seemed to know everything from midrange to programming, netware, microsoft and telephony taught me occasional tidbits like binding a protocol to an interface in netware 3.1
if you keep your eyes open and demeanor positive and helpful, you are more likely to spot the willing to educate you. ask questions without being pushy. watch to see when they don't want to be bothered and offer to help.
my thought exactly. emphasize ROI especially when it comes time to buy pesky things that maintain the business. selling redundancy can be hard, but one good outage will illustrate how important it is. i had a client who was running a small accounting office, so tax time was his critical uptime. no raid, not even mirroring. i scared the hell out of him by asking a simple question: it's april 14th and your server won't boot - what do you do?
sometimes you have to inform management that the worst can happen at the worst time.
underscore incompetence. that is just ridiculous given the maintenance overhead involved with patching any found vulnerabilities down the road. let's hand out the password in clear text while we are at it. shoot me now
if you are a bank and your database of credit card number was compromised, your customers might think twice before opening any new accounts with your. or continuing their current one/s
