Sometimes my day is consumed

Posted in: Uncategorized

Sometimes
my day is consumed be resolving a thousand miniscule issues. 
Maybe I’ll reset a lot of passwords or resolve a dozen security
problems.  People come by all day asking me my opinion about how
things work.  Maybe I’ll confirm that a bunch of our standards are
being followed or our disaster recovery settings are correct.
 
But
other days, I’ll have one problem that consumes an inordinate amount of
time.  Today for instance, I  spent the first six and a half
hours on ONE troublesome problem.
 
ONE!
 
How
can this be a productive use of my time?  Well, I spent six hours
on it because its something that needed to be fixed and I was the only
one who could do it.
 
The good news is that its fixed and I never have to do it again.
