If you work in IT, what do you do?

[Zolty]

Help Desk for a teleco

slowly watching my brain liquify and dribble down my neck.

 

[Dracos]

I support unix systems: Aix, HPUX, Solaris and that bastardized unix...umm whats it called oo yeah linux...

My official title is: Unix System Administrator

 

[j00fek]

support 55 credit unions in a unix/win envroment

 

[Joemonkey]

I am the entire IT department for a law firm. Work with 11 servers, VoIP stuff, I'm in charge of all the Exchange, SQL, document management, special software, PC repair, etc. etc. etc...

I get the calls at midnight because someone wants to work from home and can't figure out how to get on Citrix 🙁

 

[JDMnAR1]

My official title is "Senior Project/Program Director" not that it means anything like it sounds. I am a server administrator at a med school/hospital. Our group (8 of us) handles 300+ Windows servers (real and virtual) here in our data center, and assorted other goodies around the campus (and state). If it is running on a server in the data center, and it isn't vendor-supported, it's our baby. My primary responsibilities (other than general OS stuff) are IIS and SharePoint (WSS and SPS), and I try to pick up the slack with SQL DBA stuff when I can.

 

[Fritzo]

I provision DSL circuits through two telcos (ATT & Verizon), integrate DSL routers into networks, and listen to people's inane technical problems that are always fixed by rebooting their DSL modem.

 

[MajorMullet]

I'm an ASP.NET developer

I currently work for a small company, officially doing tech support, either over the phone or going out and seeing people (pool car FTW).

As it's such a small company though, I work next to my boss (head software engineer) so I also test software/hardware, write some software for use either by customers or within the company, help improve algorithms and things, write instruction manuals/user guides, update the website, basically dabble in everything the company does.

That's why I'm working for a small company, to get experience in a lot of things, to see if anything really takes my fancy to pursue for a more long term career. Unless the money gets really good, I expect to be out of here in 3 years time.

Atmosphere is informal, which I'm enjoying, and working next to my boss means that I'm pretty much his first consultant on new ideas and so on, so I get to be involved above my position I guess.

Meh, I like it so far, only been here 9 months though

 

[ultimatebob]

I support tons of different stuff in a development server room. AIX, Linux, Windows, DB2, SQL Server, Lotus Domino, WebSphere, Rational Suite, VMWare, and a bunch of other little products.

 

[ramirez]

My title is "Tech Control Technician." It's a title I haven't seen outside of military/DoD communication systems.

We're kind of a jack of all trades. I do mostly admin for WAN and Crypto Systems.

I play CS:S at work mostly, but my official title is "slacker".

Heh. You and every other System Administrator and Desktop Support guy on the planet 🙂

 

[djheater]

Windows system administration on 2000+ stand alone 2003 server boxes.

I created the unattended standalone reimage procedure from NT4 to 2003... (the company didn't want to send new drives, even though they're hot swappable on the boxes and easily accessible... oh no, they'd rather have us ghost over the existing image with a new one) that was interesting.

I also recently succeeded in creating what I believe is a pretty secure Internet Explorer solution for kiosk browsing... using local policies, specific registry changes and a backend proxy.

Mcdonald's, I've always wanted to say, "would you like fries with that?"

[nageov3t]

I work at a data center, doing hardware crap.

building servers, getting them online, and fixing them when they're down.

pretty boring, since most of my day is either spent staring at the monitoring system or surfing the web waiting for something to crash.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Proferssional Services/Technical Trainer for a large software company.

 

[ugh]

Title says Systems Analyst.

But in reality, I do design, coding, sys admin (Linux), R&D and team lead. All on Linux, WebSphere, DB2, Java and PHP.

 

[Chryso]

Maintain an SAP web portal and workflow administrator.

 

[Apathetic]

I'm a computer programmer and I write multi-threaded services. I've also been a sys admin, but that was a long time ago.
