1. Admins are a Necessary Evil /sarcasm /maybe not

Quote: "Take a deep breath and realize that you have a symbiotic relationship with your users. They probably don't like you either."

If you don't like them and they don't like you where is the symbiosis?

Except for #1 this is a good read, things that are so obvious that we forget.



On self-administered systems, wouldn't that indicate a serious self-esteem problem?
Hey CP. My job as an SA is to make your life as easy as possible while protecting you and the enterprise from the hordes of evildoers that want your data. I don't go looking for opportunities to be a PITA. A little help from you could go a long way to making our life easier. :)

dth, You got it wrong, my gripe was with the way symbiotic was used. The only admin in my life is my wife.

@CP:

Here's hoping she thinks better of you than the average admin thinks of their users. :)
37 years, I must be good, or very cute!
37 years is a good run. Congratulations, and many more happy years to you, my friend.
> 37 years

Very neat, congrats.

I never found such a "loved of my life", so there's a touch of envy in there too. :^)
