Friend: So how’s freelancing IT/coding project going?
Me: :(
(PS: If someone asked me what anxiety felt like, I would show them this clip too.)
Enjoy Linux and Unix? System administration, programming and devops work? Follow us to make the most of sysadmin-hood.
Yup, spot on …
The bosses/IT managers we remember:
- provided safe space to grow
- opened career doors
- defended us when we needed it
- recognized and rewarded us
- developed us as leaders
- inspired us to stretch higher
- led by example
- told us our worked mattered
- forgave us when we made mistakes
Unix/Linux sysadmin starter pack. LOL.
I can confirm. I have Thinkpad, IBM keyboard, Arch Linux, XKCD poster, I dress like that lol. And of course die hard Linux fan.
How I react when IT vendor/software company tries to upsell me over the phone.
Enough. Goodbye Mr. Salesman.
Friend: You must be good at fixing computers?
Me: Naa
Friend: But you works for IT, right?
Me: My unique talent is: “screwing up good things”. I’m sorry 😐
(And that is how I got out of the free tech support requests)
