Comment Late hours is right, but the job can be boring... (Score 1) 191
Night shift....all by myself in a room full of NT and NetWare boxes. And in the corner a sad Red Hat Linux box with a crappy screen, doing nothing but DNS. The shame of it.
I am currently installing NT using instructions written by some goddamn committee which we have to follow. I've done about 30 reboots and each one takes 5 mins (no joke) and I'm getting mighty pissed off.
In a large organization sysadmins have to follow standards, which limits creativity. You have to go through CHANGE CONTROL for the slightest thing. The levels of beurocracy are a pain, it takes weeks to get anything approved.
I'd like to work for a small/medium sized org where you are not constrained so much.
