Hopefully, my current job is boring me to death

go get some sleep.

 

You haven't truly "arrived" in IT until you've fallen asleep in a server room waiting on something to reboot, rebuild, or install.

Thanks for the props; you are too kind.

 

Just make sure you don't fall asleep when the bosses are around.

 

some good advice here. a friend of mine in IT is going to tutor me so I don't get totally baffled by terminology all though I know a little from the CIW course although I bet the context makes the info a lot more detailed. But anyway I've languished in a boring office environment for years doing a job which was pretty boring and I like to learn new stuff so am willing to work hard to get somewhere, the time to get trained is now otherwise I'll be stuck doing the same old crap for the rest of working life..

 

That's what happened to me. In a school or home environment I pretty much can fix anything that's fixable, however in a professional corporate environment, I can't do what I want. There are guide lines to follow, rules to learn, not just IT but how things function. It's the first thing that I learned when I started working. It's easy to format a pc and start fresh, but it's hard to troubleshoot and fix a pc without formatting (this is just an example). Even to this day I still make mistakes and sometimes I even miss things that are right in front of me, but I do my best to learn from my mistakes and not let that discourage me. All I can say is that experience can never be replaced.
