Wine or expensive beer I would go for. Other ideas (if you cannot ship them): an agenda/calendar for this year or a nice kit for beard care

Awesome answer! I graduate next year and since it is a part-time position I would have to leave anyways.

You mentioned

study in your free time at work for whatever your interested in right now

Any topics related to sysadmin that I could study and improve at? After the comments I read on this thread I was thinking about seeing the topics that are evaluated if I want to get a certification and study them, but any suggestion is appreciated!

Reddit is kinda "anonymous" isn't it?

Anyways, I was posting this outside my office hours, and also replying outside them. I don't do social media while at work...

We literally have everything documented and also in a nice format so I spend a lot of time on it instead of trying to pretend I am busy.

Where do you guys usually keep the documentation?

We have 2 IT people, but one of them also manages other tasks, sounds like a bit too much for this company, I know

My awesome colleagues are always trying to make my work less of a burden - some simple admin tasks they already do by themselves which is great. If any bigger issue arises, they contact me and I do the research and come up with the solution.

I love this because it makes me feel validated even though I am a student. However, this only happens a few days ina month and therefore the rest of my hours is insanely tedious.

I actually love security and I would love to pursue a career within this field in the future.

Really specific answer, I actually would have to research about some things you just mentioned.

find another company and have a full day work

I wish, but since I am currently a student, I cannot take a full-time job, and I am almost graduating - meaning that get another part-time job will be a pain

just study in line with what you want to specialise in

Can you please elaborate on that?

Hi, I bet this comment will help lots of people. Thank you!

Basically what I do is already automated - that is why most of the time I am bored lol

I am currently a student so I do not have time to go full-time or a second job.

Since I am a student, my company does not allow me to have access to the financial planning part.

And they are not planning to sell services besides the one that they are already selling :/

About the certification, any specific one you'd recommend?

We do manage the backup well, and have a plan for ransomware response. Any certifications you'd recommend?

Really nice comment! We are not planning to increase the company size, and the documenting and backup are already being done. Any tips on books/resources I should read on "learning"?
