And the Ugly… Most people don’t understand the job When things go well… Go unnoticed “They don’t do anything”  Game players  Web Surfers Important to document everything

And the Ugly (Con’t.)… When there is a problem… Everyone is looking for you Highly stressful Some blame you for the problem May graduate to “Miracle Worker” status once problem is fixed

Sage Advice… Kirk: “Scotty, Do you always multiply your repair estimates by a factor of four?” Scotty: “How else to maintain my reputation as a miracle worker?” ~Star Trek IV “Starship captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. The secret is to give them what they need, not what they want.” ~ST:TNG - Relics

SAGE/LOPSA Code of Ethics Professionalism Personal Integrity Privacy Laws and Policies Communication System Integrity Education Responsibility to Computing Community Social Responsibility Ethical Responsibility “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse” ~Edmund Burke
