Oh hi...
Happy Turkey Day...
Yes I still exist. Work is busy and stressful but some of the stuff they were hoping to accomplish with the last reorg is not working out mostly because my employer is HUGE and we a complicated mishmash of stuff to support (i.e. oracle, sql, mssql, and 2 or 3 versions of each depending on how well the developers are moving things along).
The intranet portal is about to get a dedicated team because it is a complicated mess all in itself with 170+ and growing number of boxes supporting it.
While none of the other stuff is that messy there are plenty of complicated apps that pretty much will take up the time of a few admins just to keep up with maintaining and knowing what is what with that application/system alone. But we are expected to do and know all for all the windows server stuff in our support contract and after a year there has been little real training as we are all doing our best to keep up with the stuff we actually do know to have time to learn new stuff or teach others.
On the plus side I got a promotion. I went from a level 2 admin to a level 3 which means a bit more money.
Thankful for managing to stay employed with good bennies and for a wonderful dinner and yummy wine with friends this evening.
