In the AIM Blast today, this came across the wire. One of our old co-workers in a separate IM window was discussing the debacle of coming in to this new company as the senior sysadmin.
"Coming into an IT shop that is a mess is like moving into a stranger's house, and trying to live there wearing their clothes, eating their food, rummaging around in the basement for a new lightbulb and running across something and saying... 'What the hell is that??!??'"
I can't think of a better way to describe that kind of situation. Sometimes you wonder if you should just burn it all down, take the insurance money, and start all over again. Unfortunately, in most cases, there's no insurance money in IT and you're stuck wearing the previous sysadmin's muumuu.
