I was a Unix admin for 30 years. It was a fun job. I really enjoyed being able to set up sturdy systems and fixing them when necessary. Even better, it didn’t require me to be a people person.
I love these posts.
Yup--It is my dream job, and I am enjoying every day.
DILBERT: Uh, Boss. In this memo, I think you meant the company needs more “Unix” admins, not “eunich” admins.
BOSS: Oh! Well, when she comes by, tell the company nurse: “Never mind.”
A common refrain among techie-types. Imagine being that sort of personality and getting a vindictive boss who punishes you by sending you to the call center to answer phones.
It sucks!
