ok, put this into perspective. we don't go around beating the crap out of our computers every time they crash. being an admin, code jocky, whatever, times can get pretty stressful. especially if a multi million company is on your back to get this problem solved cause every minute down is a few thousand dollars. yet, when all is said and done, we don't wait for an opportunity to take the computer down a dark alley and smash in its drives. there are lots of jobs that are stressful, but police seem to be the only ones that can get away with beating up the clientelle to get what they want. them and the mafia. which one would you rather fear?
