When i worked as IT in a company I quickly automated it via Scripts. It rapidly became a challenge to me to do this for as much as possible.
I just thought of it as a requirement for IT staff as I could so easily do it
Then years down the line I realised I had quite a bit of free time on my hands. So I used that to find tools online that would help me automate more of it.
Only a couple of times did one of the Managers sort of cotton on to my amount of free time.
But as I was doing my job, he couldn't really fault me.
I ended up performing easy soldering jobs to pass the time.
Never thought of applying for a second job...
