So Dooce Me
Long time ago, in a life long gone, a coworker told me his definition of work in IT in a mission critical environment. He compared it to being on the front line. What he meant by it was, in critical situations, everybody's true character comes out and it's not always a good thing.
I nodded and agreed. It took me a few years to see the what the difference is between front line and work. Well, other than the fact that you can get killed for real in the first case. What sucks about the office, as opposed to the front line, is that, even when someone takes a shot at your back today, you're supposed to smile at them tomorrow like they're your bestest buddy.
This is called professional conduct.
And, damn, it's hard.
Musical hump day will continue tonight as planned. I'm just not in the mood for music right now.
