Invariably today I heard the infamous phrase "ah, you system yes you make a good life. "Yeah, the stereotype social workers on systems or networks (or - as I do not like very much - Computer ago) is a sedentary job, sitting behind a desk, intent on beating the keyboard. No stress, no major concern, fixed time, and piles of money. Well, inevitably, like all times, the person who said this phrase has absolutely no idea what it means to do our job.
I think that the system administrator and / or networks is the single most difficult job in the world. I say this not because I feel tired doing so (because it would not be absolutely true), but because it is a completely out of control. It is hectic, is evolving at a frightening speed. Every day, if not every hour, something new comes out, a security hole, an update, a new program, a new version. Not to mention the business aspects of the case. A technical manager for information systems must have an overview of who really incredible (do not be surprised if we are single-issue these individuals). From the outside you see only one set of machines that put order into their wardrobes, they are also a terrible figure. But who sees them with a different eye, he sees all sorts of problems: temperature, current, fire hazard, risk of burglary, damage caused by software, virus, mechanical problems, and to make matters worse sometimes it takes a also Sun with its sunspots. Who among you has ever asked if the area where you have the seat is an area with seismic activity? You know how many are the seismic monitoring stations in your area? Or have you ever wondered if the area where you are at risk of flooding?
fight every day with recurring problems and fixations that there are almost never stop thinking about our work, we would have to think and reflect at all times if we were to think of everything, and 24 hours day there would be enough to even begin. And what's more we miss the problems that give us the developers, known to consumers of all kinds because (often) too lazy to think about what they do. This leaves endless conflicts between the two levels of Information Technology who accuse each other of not being able to do the job. Suppliers of software products that they create rather than solve problems on their side because they have "experience". Hats off gentlemen, but sometimes, perhaps, who works in a company, knows it better than you, not to mention the fact that the market system since 390 is the past for some time, Intel thinks the era methods with a little 'different. At the end are those that when you talk about some technologies look at you as if I had just escaped from an insane a mental health center.
Well ... is not exactly a bed of roses and of course our work is not remunerated as good as many think (ah yes, but only in Italy!). What we experience every day, as well as phrases like "if you are not able to do your work, we find dozens of others better than yourself" is not considered an easy life. Often we have to do crazy rounds, pulled by 24 hours because we are in the midst of a stormy sea and we can not stop until we have repaired the damage (you read " vs Computer. Medical ?) Because if not our company remains strong.
The Information Technology is the engine of every company now, underestimated, understated and always fully used in any environment. We, as managers to run these engines, we are in our hands a dirty job, which always puts a strain on us, both emotionally and physically (Montataire you do the wiring closets or wherever it is needed: any technocrat as it should does this work with their colleagues). And look ... I have not invented anything
the other night I went out with some dear friends (I'm not sure those who make statements like those that have given birth to this post), and when they said that "to understand the technology, nowadays, and 'how to have super powers," I felt good. I must say that I had no second thoughts about my choice of work, continues to please me in every way (or almost). Pero 'to hear certain things ... and 'considerable satisfaction:)
