Somehow - I don't think this is the automation you mean...

Veteran Unix admin trait No. 4: We're inherently lazy

When given a problem that appears to involve lots of manual' date=' repetitive work, we old-school Unix types will always opt to write code to take care of it. This usually takes less time than the manual option, but not always. Regardless, we'd rather spend those minutes and hours constructing an effort that can be referenced or used later, rather than simply fixing the immediate problem. Usually, this comes back to us in spades when a few years later we encounter a similar problem and can yank a few hundred lines of Perl from a file in our home directory, solve the problem in a matter of minutes, and go back to analyzing other code for possible streamlining. Or playing Angry Birds.

I know I'm in the right field at least when that description appeals to me, hahaha. Satisfaction 10/10.

On another note, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo.

What do ya's think of a southern cross on my forehead with tribal down each cheek? I work in an office enviroment so I have to keep it reasonable, otherwise I'd go for the "F*CK" ... "OFF" on each eye lid

Not quite, but writing code and modules to use at a later date saves a truck load of time!
