IT Nightmares

Now that I work for the State, certain news items make my stomach churn. Here's one from today's Houston Chronicle:

Sheriff's office e-mail purge catches some deputies off guard

As a former Systems Admin, I know what a pain it is when the storage on the email server is clogged up with all the junk that people just leave laying around in their email inbox. But when staff come in one morning to find all email older than 14 days is gone... AND then it's a headline in the newspaper... it's time to update your resume.

Holy cow, that's crazy!!
That would have crippled me at my old job & I only processed sales contracts.
Speaking of jobs...I'm looking for one, blech! I really think there should be some kind of compensation for raising the next generation of Americans...that is, if you're doing a good job :)
But that will never happen so I guess I'm stuck.
Say hey to your lovely wife for me.
Love,
Alane
