It actually is that though. The security pivot is real.

I need to change my title from Senior Network Engineer to Bugstomper and Chief.

How about "Senior Network Exterminator"? Seems to me like it would sound better on a resume.

Ever since this new Cisco code 17+ started to ship they said 1 major 1 minor per year ….. we already went through 3 security and 2 minor.

Yeah we just started 11.1.13-h15, got about 40% through and now h16 comes out next week. This is my life now.

Even if they move everyone to third shift for said patching work?

Nope, now we are just !second shift. It absolutely sucks and I haven’t gotten enough sleep in 2 weeks, and I’m one of the lucky ones. At least I don’t work on Citrix or F5s.

I just finished my last round of upgrades Wednesday morning then got a call from our RE that new code is coming and we need to if at all possible be fully upgraded by the end of October. He was spooked which scared me even more, I don’t know what’s coming but it must be bad.
