I have been `the competent guy` this week. It took me two years to realize how deep the willingness to do nothing is for the IT guys here. I arrived as usual in the morning last week. An employee told me the notification system was broken and wouldn't be fixed before next year. I told her I would implement a fix before the end of the day. I got it done. The IT guy still has his public servant job and I am told to write a note to justify the implementation of the fix (I am not a public servant and not a contractor, I work for a private public LLC that is managed by a regional authority).
