Today marks the start of my fourth year working for Purdue University as a UNIX/Mac Desktop Support Technician for the Physics Department. I’m glad to work in the department that I do and be able to work with the people who I do. It makes getting through those tough and trying days that much easier.
I had applied for the job initially while honestly not having faith in myself or my abilities as UNIX/Mac support wasn’t something I’d done as a primary job before. I had typically been a Windows support person who dabbled in Linux and had a few Macs, but no real support experience. I’ve since grown into the person I am today – a trusted and respected source of Linux/Mac knowledge who will admit to struggling with tougher issues, but is no longer afraid to just jump in and tackle it.
Here’s to the past three years and several more to come!
