You know what, I had a job like that for a while. It's called being a sysadmin at a medium size company, because after a while, if you're competent, you basically automate yourself out of any regular work. Every now and again would be something irregular - an urgent update, hardware failure, X or Y, but the vast majority of the time there was nothing to do at all.
For the first year or two it seems cool to be paid to do nothing but after a while I realised I was literally idling away my life, so I switched to actually building things instead.
- throwmeaway141 13y agoThis could also be my story - when I started here, things were set up so inefficiently that it was a full time job. Now, I've scripted and automated most stuff so it just happens, and all I have to do is check that it's happened, and fix it if it hasn't. Sometimes I consider breaking things, just so I've got something to do to fix them...
