Have you ever been called an addict?
Early 2008 I did the unthinkable; I guess I’m not quiet thru with Microsoft just yet and took the 2008 Technology Specialist exam. It’s an upgrade of my MCSE where you’ll take a single exam but gets three more titles. Again, another unthinkable happen, I got a perfect score for all three sets.
A week before I left for a tour of duty in an island in the Pacific, a staff sent me a text message asking me of whom will I leave my job to. And then he followed it up with another text saying “He should be a server addict like you.” And I smiled and responded “Well, there’re just two people in the office who’re crazy enough to mess up the servers, so I’m leaving it to you!” He’s reply was WAAHEHE. It means a loud laugh followed by a bit of seriousness…
I am now being labeled by my staff as a “Server Addict” I don’t know where they get the idea, perhaps they’ve seen me work on the server room more often than my predecessors but I’ve been the same person since they’ve known me only got a little more workloads. As Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben would say “With great power, comes great responsibilities.”
So what do you do with it? How do you escape from being wedged with your job? We’ll, let’s put it this way; a farmer would toil twice a year in plowing and planting but come harvest time, his family, his extended families and all who’ve work with him reap the fruits of their labor. Same with us, Specialist in our field, you provide a standard for your self and keep it like a habit. You don’t need to tell others of what you can do rather show them your diligence and your thirst for learning.
This is contrary to other’s principle but for me, staying for an extra 10 minutes of your time everyday, making sure you’re leaving your office like you’re leaving your home is the way it should be. I consider it the closest thing to a KB24 or a KG5 work ethic… But seriously, I stayed more minutes than that and sometimes an hour.
Now I’m an addict? I guess!?!
