What do you guys do at work
BAU - Business as usal day to day i.t support work making sure everything is running etc and all of the users etc are happy
or project work - like upgrading something or re-design or implementing something new?
is it bad if you only done BAU work so far and never lead a project etc?
which is better

My typical day is putting out fires, working with customers, and generally just trying to move the business forward. Not necessarily in that order if things are going well -

Most larger shops split the roles up at some point, which is logical but can take away from the fun and variety inherent in getting to do both.
