I have been in and out of IT over the years. I have had a number of positions in IT (QA, Help Desk, Programmer, etc.), currently writing reports (using Crystal Reports). I have to find value in what I do. I have been frustrated over the years to watch a project that I have spent hours on, only see it dropped for one reason or another. I try to chalk it us as experience.

I have had clients that I have given a solution to their problem practically kiss my feet, but management never recognizes my (or others) achievements. Get a paycheck, go to the next challenge.
