techrecoveryTomorrow should be amusing. For certain values of.
I started only last Wednesday in my new job; my first ever sysadmin position. (Well, it says sysadmin on my contract; I'm more of a helldesk/admin/purchasing/dogsbody really). In the tech department there are four of us: the NT admin, the Unix/Mac admin, the boss, and little me - newest one on the team. Most of my work involves buying stationery and hardware, and setting up PCs and email accounts.
It's my first ever IT position.
The Unix/Mac sysadmin is off sick. The boss has a hospital appointment tomorrow morning and will work from home the rest of the day. The NT admin will also be out all morning. The IT department will consist of ...
... me.
Talk about in at the deep end. Someone really didn't think this through; and it's not them that's going to get it in the neck tomorrow if anything goes wrong. I have the administrator passwords for the PCs and the Macs, but if anything goes wrong with the Unix or Solaris boxes then they are going to be so screwed. I might have a vague chance of dealing with any freeBSD issues, but I wouldn't place any bets on it.
