Day two of work today. First Government job (well government contractor), and it's amazing how much sitting and waiting gets done at these jobs. I don't know whether it's so much inefficiency is that everyone has their job, and god forbid you should do someone elses for a second to make it more efficient.
Example: We were "bringing up" an old machione for a security audit. I received a notice that in order to do the audit, we needed to do some updates. I asked my boss if I could just update the machine. I was told "No, call ... You are a Unix System Administrator, not a Windows System Administrator" Ignore my 21 years of Windows experience (Yes, it goes back to Windows 3.0), and the fact I've probably built and configured more P.C.'s in my life than the technician who spent 2 hours doing a windows update.
Well, At least the pay is high.
perhaps more about the commute tomorrow, I'm going to lunch with my boss, should be interesting.
