i earned myself a place in infamy
ok. i really like my new boss. he's frickin cool. he's easygoing, a 'no pressure' type of guy, listens to me and believes that i know what i'm talking about, is respectful, and pretty funny too. i just gave him our list of stuff we need ($3k for antivirus software, $8k for backup hardware/software) and he didn't bat an eye. he understood that it was a requirement to keep the business running. it's refreshing. not that my former bosses didn't understand that - i just never felt like things progressed anywhere, and when things went wrong (our sucky backup software fails) it becomes my fault. half the time i feel like i'm trying to fix a car with fisher price toys. or a banana. and then when i can't do it, for some reason it's because of my shortcomings. not because no one will buy me useable tools.
oh well. we're a small struggling company, and while i might actually like a large company with lots of money, it'd mean a large IT department. and while it'd be nice to have someone else working with me, sometimes i like being the sole systems / network guy. it allows me control. and since i'm a control junkie, i get that lovely soothing feeling. :)
enterprise season finale party tonight at our house. my heart rushes with the sheer geekness.
