What do you hate about your sysadmin job?

I'm the sysadmin of my own computer and I can barely handle that, anyone working with multiple computers at once is some kind of techno wizard. How do you screw them together when there's only so many portholes in the back?

When you finger many men as I do, you gain the wonderful sysadmin powers of the Nile.

Sysadmin work is like a 130-150 IQ job, and you deal with 90-105 IQ people like me all day. I can imagine how that would metaphorically kill a man.
Also something something 2001 a Space Oddity something something as machines become more human the human becomes more machine, or something deep like that.

Not a sysadmin, is it worth considering? Is it feasible to do alongside uni? Not sure what the requirements are either

I honestly think anyone could do it. Well, if you finger as many men as I do.

If you really have a 130-150 IQ you could get a less shit job
 
When the users on my quickly growing web forum keep insisting that I like AWOOOOOs, for whatever weird reason.
 
The main issue is, that nobody is grateful, when shit is running smoothly, but one'll be raked over the coals, when it hits the rotary air impeller. Enjoy long hours fixing crap other people/vendors fuck up, don't be a sucker and work for places, that don't pay overtime - at least not after you have acquired some experience in the field.
Oh and also fuck printers.

I've had moments when employees would blame me for system downtimes. Funny thing is, they literally don't have a clue when it comes to managing systems.

Not a sysadmin but I agree with @Daddy Dongle Dinkle. Printers, especially wi-fi printers are a fucking pain, especially my shitty HP at home with doesn't even have drivers that install correctly on newer versions of Windows 10. I have to use Windows' default drivers that don't work properly half the time.

The whole printer industry is a fucking nightmare. I've had issues with printers refusing to work completely, and the lack of diagnostic information to solve the problem. At work, printers are normally the main problem.

The video below covers it pretty well.
