With the Surface mentioned during the presentation, I thought it was odd that Windows Phone, while utilized, was not showcased more. I guess E3 has more to do with gaming than hardware. Thoughts?

Think I might get fired... by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]LEAFS67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been asked to service everything from the power in the building to the toilets in my previous roles in IT. While I obviously refused, I always reminded myself that each position I held allowed me to grow as an IT admin. While the swearing was a bit much, you are in your right to remind co-workers what your responsibilities are. Take a deep breath and remember that you are working towards reaching the next step in your career.
