ATTN: Sir Tony

Which I presume is angled at me.

I can easily accept '****' as a description, but lazy arsed? You don't
have the first fucking clue. And "IT wank"- FWIW I don't work in 'IT'.

I'd suggest that you lack the moral fibre to stick at stuff when it gets
hard and that's why you've had (and probably will continue to have) a
succession of short-term shit jobs, the only way that your jobs will
change is if you change. However I suspect you'd take offense if I said
that so I'll say nothing.

Not as much as I'll take offence at your blatant American spelling,
matey.

Sort it out!

It wasn't angled at anyone in particular but if the cap fits...

I have no problem with your comments. Most of my recent jobs have been
shit.

 

Well IT covers so many jobs nowadays. When I started out (1982), the
bulk of the jobs were computer operators, programmers, analysts and
project leaders. I got a job as a trainee operator - no qualifications
other than a lowest-possible-grade A level in maths - and several months
working as a green-grocer.

Many people get into "IT" from the business side - as so much business
is now underpinned by IT, as experience of the business grows your
involvement (assuming the aptitude and motiviation exist) with the IT
may develop from being a user to becoming more involved in the shaping
of those systems - making yourself an expert in one aspect may lead to
opportunities to become more involved in future developments.

Of course so much depends on the employer and on your own desire to
develop.

Like most people my age I seemed to just drift into IT. In my case after a
failed attempt at doing engineering.

MCSE and CCNA will get you a foot in the door but they're not the guarantee
to that highly paid job that the training people would like you to think.
For that you really need relevant real world experience.

BTW, if there are any CCNAs out there with some real world experience who
would like a shitty front line role I have the perfect job for you.
Some VMS experience would be really nice as well.

WTF dreams about a job in IT?

Coo, ta!

 

I actually always wanted a 'technology' job, although one more along the
lines of 'research and design cool or useful shit' than the 'IT is like
expensive lego' environment I seem to be in at present.

Working in IT would be more fun if it wasn't for the fact it actually
involves working *with* IT.

 

You want to play with technology rather than work with it.

well, yes

Ours doesn't. Well, I don't think so.

Sort of, I'd class it more as working in "what if" space, the technology
part is fairly secondary, I suppose.

That's my afternoon diversion sorted.

 

Now this (from the opening page of the above URL), in the context of the
thread when it started, is too much of a coincidence:

'The main manager of the place, is Brandy, or some people make a joke on
her name, and say Randy behind her back,as she is the butchiest looking
woman I ever seen. She looks like she is a "he" in drag! Hence why I
call her "she-man" behind her back.'

Judging from my experience of some companies, that seems to be the prime
criteria for their IT management positions...

 

we have a bluesky architecture/strategy team - they're possibly the
most bored, cynical and dejected bunch in the building, due to the fact
none of the "great ideas" they have ever make it into production.

it's a mixed bag - some real gems amongst the general shit.
