Check out my last post in the shoutbox.  I wasted at least an hour, probably more, fixing a problem caused by one of the helpdesk monkeys who took it upon himself to screw with something he had no business messing with. :thatsright:

I could have done something productive for that hour and a half.  But no... someone else had other plans.

Oh I love the helpless desk monkies! I called those idiots up one day, told them this is Perky downstairs and I got a HRIS user printer problem, simple procedure to fix, and they put put me on hold and then forwarded the call to me! Said they had a "Perky Downstairs" on the line that had an HRIS printer problem and hung up.

Freaking morons. 

I feel your pain my friend. Glad I am moving out of Applications and going to the Data center.

 :lmao:

I'm trying to decide what I want to do... I was almost considering starting a separate discussion on it.  I have a couple friends that make big money doing network admin (CCIE-level stuff) but network admins are almost a dime a dozen.  I sort-of enjoy DBA work but I'm hesitant to start down that road.  I'm not sure if I want to get bogged down on an MCSE track and babysitting servers.  I just can't decide.

I just don't know anymore. :(

I love my job. I like the people that I work with and my boss is very cool and one funny dude. We have a lot of laughs everyday.
I just wish I was making the same money I was before the communists took over the government. (I'm sure I'm not the only one in that boat though.)

Must be Haliburton or Diebold.

I'm guessing the primitive works for Wal-Mart.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

I agree. Very few DUmp democrats qualify for jobs with Halliburton or Diebold, unless it's custodial.

Network admin is fairly big now and pays fairly decent if you are in a large org. Didn't used to be, that's why I went into App Development. I started back on Novell 2.1 and DOS 3.2. Hell I remember back when you had to solder serial com port connection for printers cause there was no standard! I've done it all. I actually understand hex and binary!

DBA's, in my opinion , have an overinflated opinion of themselves. Not saying you are one now, mind you, but Ole Perky actually wrote software back in the day that did ISAM. You had to create your own file access method. And now I got some 28 year old idiot trying to tell me why they can't put a damn index on a table.

Back in the late 80's, Novell came out with Btrieve and it was great. Then we went to informix, First time I did SQL. I found it simple. Tables... just an extension of files. Only one way to read storage. I actually programmed stuff that knew the physical location on the drive. It ain't changed. You got to know the location. Dbase management systems just figure out the access path. Back then, DBA's did not exist.

I can understand getting pigeon holed into something but I like it all. What I don't like is doing the same crap everyday. Give me variety!

Hell start another thread on it somewhere, in the appropriate forum, wherever that is. Let me know where it is and you and me we can talk about this stuff all night long!  :cheersmate: :cheersmate:
