[Admin] IT Administration [Work]

I got an .zip file as an email attachment this morning that was supposedly very important. I don't really care for things like that, so I spent a few hours fucking off online. I got a little bored arguing with people who are wrong, so decided that I better check out what it was. Whelp, I saved it to my files, but I have to use outlook for some reason (even though I could replace it if I so wished, I am the sysadmin after all), so it took a while, so I went back to playing minesweeper. After lunch, I thought that I'd better open that file. I started to open is, then went to browse /prog/, reddit, Hacker News, Slashdot, and /g/ for a while. 3 O'clock rolls around and I think to myself that I'd better get on that damn file. Oh great, it's a fucking PDF. I was surprised the idiot could figure out the windows archiving thing. Well, anyway, this is windows, so naturally Acrobat has to load, so I go read a bunch of wiki pages until 4:55. Then it is 4:56, then 4:57, then 4:58, then 4:59, then I once again remember that thing that I was supposed to read (or do something with), but hey, fuck it, it's almost 5:00. Then I go home. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow, but then again, maybe not. I'm not a psychic. I'll be busy monitoring log files and making sure the servers are down. If I'm not busy watching them, the network could go down, and trillions of dollars could be lost. I'm sure whatever it is can wait.

Such is the hectic day of a sysadmin.

I'll be busy [...] making sure the servers are down
Oh you're working with cia, right?

Oh yeah? I get paid to watch porn!

CANT UNDERSTAND ADVANTAGE OF IT IN SECURITY

OP, did you open the zip bomb I sent you yet?

Yes. It crashed the Windows 2003 server I was opening it on, which was also the email server, the file server, and the router (I sold the Cisco shit on ebay for $136.16 and told the CTO, my uncle, that there was apparently a paperwork problem). Six hundred people are unable to do any work and the company is losing millions. The russian guy (is that you, Nikita?) who hacked in a few years ago through a faulty ASPX script and uses it as a botnet command server is probably pissed right now. All I really need to do is restart the thing.... But then I'd have to wait until it loaded all the rootkits just to login.

Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
