-A job for the boring, a hobby for the deranged: systems administration. Do you like spending 4 hours digging through configs to find out it was typo in a configuration file? How about spending hours of your life, away from work, learning how poorly designed software works and attempting to get it running? Perhaps you want to deal with dipshit software developers that push half baked code that breaks your shit? If you answered yes, then sysadmin is for you! +A job for the boring, a hobby for the deranged: systems administration. Do you like spending 4 hours digging through documentation, trawling through logs, and desperately searching for a solution to a problem only to find out it was typo in a configuration file? How about spending hours of your life, away from work, learning how poorly designed software works and attempting to get it running? Perhaps you want to deal with dipshit software developers that push half baked code that breaks your shit? If you answered yes, then sysadmin is for you!

No one will be grateful for any work, and they //will// forget that there's a human maintaining the services they use.
