a dont think any two dayswould be the same doing that and thats what i think im after tbh
thanks for the links guys as always its much appreciated

 

Ummm.. Yes they would. If you're talking about cabling, almost EVERY job is the same - involving pulling cables, punching down and patching out. I can't think of a more monotonous job in IT (not that it really 'counts' as IT in any real sense of the world).

I quite like a bit of cabling every now and then - it gives my mind a break from more taxing work - but if I had to do it every week, let alone every day as part of my job? I'd go insane.

 

Connectix courses do concentrate on the practical tho'

Me too. Happy to do a straightforward office but not on different levels etc.

Yep, VERY BORING. Get's marginally more interesting if you gte to use a Fluke meter and test and prepare a report but cabling is cabling is cabling !

 

What Zeb said really. I don't mind the odd bit of patching (we have a couple of IT Suites to do over the summer) but we won't be doing the cable runs, we get our friendly sparks to do that.

Each to their own though, I'm sure some people (insane people) enjoy that kind of job.

 

The upside is if there are some really tasty looking women in the office, when you're checking the cables under the desk, you can take a sneaky peek up the skirt
