Accentuate the positives; eliminate the negatives. You'll be happier. ;)

447772 2006-04-20 00:09:00 Seems pretty normal to me, not really that exciting...
I wonder what that would pay. Are there actually a shortage of computer specialists in the work force?

447773 2006-04-20 00:25:00 Must be just me then... I woulda loved to work for Auckland uni. I mean, think of the benefits - all those gorgeous female students! :thumbs: Greg (193)
447774 2006-04-20 00:56:00 all those gorgeous female students! :thumbs:

No.
Believe me, from experience, sitting in the sysadmin building is about as far as you can get from the arts buildings where the talent is. In fact I'm sure thats why they put the compsci/engineering dept. so far away ;).

447777 2006-04-20 03:08:00 It'd be cool working for a Uni provided you weren't in the 'over the hill' category, then it would be just............oh...............awful. mark c (247)
447778 2006-04-20 03:42:00 No. The last time I made the mistake of obeying a woman she got pregnant.
Aha, probably best not be around all those "gorgeous female students" then.



And Mark C - you could say half the staff there are what you call over the hill, thats got nothing to do with it.
The good things were (at the time): It was a relaxed atmosphere, glide time, 37 hour weeks, 4 1/2 weeks holidays, casual dress (hard to tell staff, even academics from the students).

The bad was: Relaxed atmosphere, bureacracy, petty infighting among faculties.

I could see if I stayed there I end up rotting there....
