The life and times of an IT manager are simple. You come to work each day and either one of two things happens. Either nothing is happening at all, and you strain to look as though you are useful to the company; or you are in a thrust into a panic when a server crashes and you can do nothing to stave off the crys of "NOBODY CAN WORK" or "HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE".
As it is blatantly obvious, it is a work environment of extremes. It's all or nothing, nothing and everything.
The excess boredom causes one to get into all sorts of erroneous activities. From seeking out pictures of vintage pin up girls, flirting with girls via those "social websites" and all the way to the opposite end of the mental spectrum to spending hours on wikipedia "enlightening" ones-self, the ever present "fucking around in photoshop", and God forbid...blogging.
So, what does one really do with their spare time?
I can honestly say " i dont even know " half of the time. I will spend hours messing around with settings, figuring out the subtle nuances of a computer program. I swear i spend more time screwing around with something, than actually using it. Therefore whatever time was spent, is most likely a waste of time, and in saying that i can safely say, that the majority of my day is spent "wasting time".
