If you know anyone with kick-ass techie and social skills, who loves
stress and constant learning and regular fire-drills, this is for them
--samli
\_ Fire drills?
\_ Koan: How can one be a great sysadmin and at the same time have
social skills?
\_ You pursuade your co-workers to do all your work and willingly
let you take all the credits.
\_ What exactly is a fire-drill in this context? Does someone pull
a cable at 3am on a Saturday to see how fast the team responds?
\_ Not that bad. Worst would be 8am Monday. Lot of work can be
done remotely of course, so it's not that bad. Usually it's
a big-deal-about-nothing so takes you 15 minutes fix and
make sure it doesn't happen again and then explain to mgmt.
Patience, diplomacy and communication skills are required.
Example: User reports: "system crashed, pointer does not
move". Solution: replace batteries in wireless mouse. |
