Ever had a job that when you took it you thought "wow, this is perfect" then after a few months you're banging your head against the wall in frustration?
My previous was job was great I learned so much about 2003 server in general, AD, creating and problem solving issues with deploying gpo's, It was by far the best hands on job I've had. However the pay BLEW, I was making as much as someone working drive thru @ McDonalds. I stayed for the experience however.
After 3 yrs I decided to move on and started my year long process of looking for a new job. After several interviews where I was the "in the running" I finally landed a job that sounded perfect.
Sys Admin of 2 sites, the job description sounded great the management sound good. hands on experience with exchange 2003, cisco equipment, somewhat close to home, and the pay was a lot better. It all sounded good.
So I took the job and was excited.
fast forward 6 months and I think I'm starting to really despise my job. I get the feeling that a monkey could do my job. This is no more than a glorified pc tech. I have very little to actually do with the servers, I have access to hardly anything, it has all be outsourced throughout the company. If I want to create a gpo to deploy, I have phone 3 different dept, then wait and restated the machine periodically to see if it has been applied. Grrr..... We're not allowed to have test accounts created, we have to phone support and give them a reason why. Which then every couple of months they do a "AD cleanup" and disable all the test accounts, they I have to go through the cycle again. VERY VERY annoying. There is just so many little things that piss me right off, I want to scream some days.
Time to go move some machines around and then phone to have the "AD team" apply some gpo's
This was just something I had to get off my chest,
