• I've always kept in mind the words of a mentor of mine years ago - "Work hard to be lazy" - it doesn't quite sum up his attitude to work but not too far off. The lazy part is the routine work, checking servers jobs, free disk space etc.

    The most important part of my daily routine (whilst having a coffee) is to read emailed reports for the state of all servers. I can then get on with the project / help desk work - when that's done - learn new stuff.

    There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand (the world). There is no such thing as a dumb question. ― Carl Sagan
