Network Admin Life - Introduction

Hello anyone!
Welcome to my new channel! I'll be talking about what it's really like to be a network administrator and also documenting my journey into retirement.
There's not going to be anything fancy about this channel, no fancy graphics, intros or outros, no Amazon affiliate links, no special content for Patreon subscribers. Just a regular guy talking about regular stuff. We'll talk tech, problems, politics, and most definitely religion. It's just really my take on work and life.
Be civil in your comments. Uncivil comments will be deleted without remorse. I decide what is civil. Slightly ruthless I know but hey, it is my channel after all.

    I came in wondering what a network admin did, and ended up praising God. I’ve just started my IT career but it was definitely God that open all the doors for me. God bless brother!

    Well I know it was the Lord that had me watch your video brother! I am a 62 year old security guard at Martin Army Hospital at Fort Benning, GA. I am in grad school to get a degree in Information Systems Management. I took 2 courses so far and did very well. I plan on taking Googles' IT Professional Certification program later this month. After retiring from the Army and the local police dept, I really wanted to get back into something more technical and analytical. So the Lord led me to information technology in Oct 2019! So, I know that I am on the right track and watching your video brought a tear to my eyes because of Gods' confirmation on His choice for me; even at my age! Never too old for God! So thank you for your ministry in technology!

    Fellow Windows NT MCSE here. I've been working in computer networking for about 20 years now. I never upgraded my MCSE and never got any more certs. I'm in the process of finally getting some updated certs because we're getting ready to leave California. Your story about your wife saying why not apply to that job. My wife did something similar. We were driving and she looked at this random building and said, "why don't you try to get a job there?" I've been working here for 14 years now. :P

I could still find Bldg 157, 153, and 182 where I spent most of my time when I worked there. Some of the other places I worked when I was in SSD and the black programs... couldn't find 'em.

    Each wire corresponds to a device on the "wired" network. We have thousands of devices on our network where I work. This includes the wireless access points which can have 30 or 40 wireless clients attached to them. Luckily you don't have to know what each wire does all the time. Label the ports and label the wires and then it's easy to figure out from there. Best of luck on your decision!
