Found this applies nicely to my career. Routineish work? Drag my feet and fight myself to do anything.
Fixing problems (bigger the better)? Everybody stand back, I got it.
Whole damn system failed due to a database failure that propagated to our secondary host too.
Hacked our backup to usable in a day (meeting most requirements, including transition requirements) with a path forward for total system recovery on the main system.
Documentation on any of that though, that was a … struggle.
Same here. Daily business I have to push me to get through the work. Major outage and everyone runs around like headless chicken? I’m the one keeping it cool and organising that everything comes back.
