All Good Things
FIN.
This was my last year at my school.
It’s been the best part of 6 years since I started ranting about my job in a school I’d grown to dislike, and a few years afterwards I told that school where to stuff it and moved on to pastures new. Now the time for change is upon me again, as I recently accepted a more senior position at another institution. While it’s not quite the lofty hallowed halls of Senior Management, it’s senior enough (and pays enough) that it would no longer be appropriate to air my dirty laundry online.
If I’m really lucky, there may not even be any. But if there is, you won’t have to endure me pontificating about it.
If you get bored, there’s always the archives.

Congratulations! Good luck with the new position, I’ll definitely miss your rants.
Sorry to hear. I’ve enjoyed your tales of anguish and woe far too much. Working in a similar environment myself they definitely hit home. I wish you luck in your new direction, but don’t be fooled. Stupidity is everywhere!
Very sad to see you bow out gracefully, I have enjoyed your postings. Best of luck with the manglement position ;)
It’s been fun while it lasted – come for the technical stuff, stay for the shared agony of users. Now I have to go back to watching a green blob on a find my iPhone screen because a user left it on a train… not because I have to but because it’s oddly fascinating.
Loved it. Best of luck in your new role.
Really sorry to see you go AT. Your rants and post’s have been a highlight in my otherwise drab and dreary inbox of school iT. I wish you all the best in your new job and if it all gets too much we will be here to listen to the rants again :-).
I’m happy for you, I will miss your post and I hope that something will popup here. GOOD LUCK
Good Luck, All the best. Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you for all of your entries over the years. Great to see we aren’t the only ones that have “interesting” users out there.
Good luck in your new position!!
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Been a pleasure listening to the kvetching – it’s helped me fix a bunch of things at my office. Happy trails!
Best of luck, you’ll be missed.
Good Luck and all the best for the future such a shame its come to an end Thank you for cheering me up over the years
Good luck in your new post!
(and good luck to any hapless staff members who think they can waste your time)
Are you planning a more conventional blog, where you still talk about cool technical challenges/solutions – like your posts on TV channels?
You will be missed, but congratulations on the new job
Well I have to say that I’m a bit shocked, but mostly ANGRY that you’ve decided to join the suits. In the immortal words of Bobby Chariot – “Bloody sod yer, then!”.
More to the point – best wishes, and I hope it goes well for you. The blogosphere has lost a good’un.
I just wanted to say thank you and best wishes!
Good luck, break a leg as they say….
Any chance of someone taking over on AT? I’d be interested and have far too much content!
I wouldn’t be comfortable turning over the blog to anyone else, but if you do start your own, let me know and I will happily plug it.
You will be missed, all the best for the future
Wow, congrats! You’ll definitely be missed here. I wish you luck on your new job – but you never know, you might just come back here every once in a while!
So good to see you promoted to a senior position…..Enjoyed your angers, as I share the same, being in technical support. It’s funny, a technician, wherever he is (developed world or a 3rd world country) faces the same challenges.
Congratulations! Loved reading the blog and laughing at just how similar your problems are to ours. I’m sure you will be back!
Very sad to hear that you’ll no longer be posting. Good luck in the new job. Regards Wallace.
Just wanted to add my appreciation and best wishes – we have been greatly entertained, and it has been pretty good therapy into the bargain! We are not alone…
Enjoyed your rants and technical posts over the years. Good Luck.
Loved reading your stuff. It’s a shame to see you go.
Are you going to keep your twitter account active?
For now, yes.
I’ll miss you and this blog :(
Say it ain’t so: I’ve really enjoyed your irregular, and irreverent, posts over the years, but congrats on the new position.
Sorry to hear, much success in your new endeavor.
Your rants will be missed, but best of luck!
my best wishes with your next adventure,don’t abandon your blog
You were the light at the end of my tunnel. Knowing that somewhere, someone was sharing the same end user problems that I deal with on a day to day basis. That light is fading. My hope is gone. Will they ever be able to add a shortcut to their desktop? Will they be able to add a website to their bookmarks? Can they use Ctrl C and Ctrl V in an adequate manner? No…. my hope is lost.
Thank you for so much information and entertainment. It was appreciated.
Long Live the Angry Technician.
*cries in corner*
I’m a latecomer to your blog; but am sad to see you go.
So many nails with sore heads
