I had always thought why in earth should consultants be looked at with disdain(remember all the Dilberts). Now I think I know the answer. We have a motley couple of people now in our college, calling themselves IT consultants, searching for ways to improve the IT infrastructure for the past three months..they tell that all the traffic in the systems are to be monitored and they would decide which site is healthy and which not...to my horror they deciphered that the Blogspot sites are not healthy and they are threat to the information security in the institute...I have already lived with this crap for the past five months and just last Sunday, when I was browsing the net I accidentally bumped upon another blospot site, then I realised the official insecurities have been answered..I went on a rampage to all the blogspot ids I know, the ones which I had never known and left a comment or two on all the posts I could possibly see. I also left a comment on Mottaiboss's blog and other Blogspot sites that they can expect my torture now more regularly...but man proposes- the Consultants disposes...for they had thought my exuberance is unwarranted for and it is a mockery of the powers they wield...I had really miscalculated the resolve these guys have in their ability to clearly find which site is a security risk and which not...after a day of baby's day out, now they tell it was a test run...morons...now I know for sure why Consultants are the most unwelcome species around anywhere..they think they know everything about something, but the sad part is whatever they know would be of no relevance to whatever they ought to know...and worse of it all..they think nobody else knows anything....how mean...these guys do nothing except starring at their laptops for hours together...I dont know what is there in the laptop...then the other day there was this book-"Network Security"-oops are these guys just now studying what is N/W security..then OMG- I should have to forget getting the blogspot sites up and running from the institute for ever...atleast the company for which these guys work doesnt file bankruptcy..which would never happen till our institute is there paying these guys...they are such a waste of time and energy..to find the traffic on the network..why should you need a consultant...you can very well get that just by looking at the log sheets in the server...U pay to get censored...once again...my attitude towards consultants have only gotten clearer but certainly not positive towards consulants...
