Surely you are not ashamed of our beloved!

I am a System p and Total Storage Specialist for an IBM Business Partner based out of Baton Rouge, LA. I am responsible for the design and sales of large IBM UNIX and Storage Solutions to companies that range in size from 10 employees to 10,000 employees. I am the sole source for this skill set within my company and there is no other company in Louisiana that does what I do so I guess I am the sole source of this skill set in LA. (no brag just fact).

Though I disagree with most of your positions espoused here, I have just had a revelation that you are one of my favorite people on this wonderful board!

I just wish you could coordinate the weather to stop thunderin' and lightenin' long enough for me to get in a few rounds! I am suffering golf withdrawl...

Very sad this week as our annual bonus is only 1/10 of what it usually is - bummer, but just blessed to have job!

Well, other people seem to go vague (example-I work for a large computer company, etc.) so I am never sure whether I should say I am an IBM employee or not. lol.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you, I am the only person that does exactly what I do, so other people look to me on how to do things... I'm not the smartest person in my field by any means, but I am the only one who does what I do, and we are usually going against internal security policies just to do our jobs (it is their fault for acquiring us without taking into consideration the nature of our business). Slowly but surely I am understanding which specific parts of the security policies we are breaking and can bring this up to management with my recommendations on how we should resolve them.

The bad news is there are no defined-processes for what I do, I make it up as I go... the good news is that I can define the processes, deliverables, etc. for my job myself.

I suffer with you... and rejoice with you...

My biggest problem is there is no one who can "fill in" while I take a few days off. I am scheduled for jury duty this week and I can't stay in the jury pool room for having to take cell calls that I can do NOTHING about!
