Aw...Crap

I got a new computer running from our IT department and lo and behold we have a new IT
Director who was hired on Monday this week and no one knew it.

For some reason since I have a clue everyone seems to hold me in some regard which kinda creates a rift between me and the official IT Dept.

That was evident today when I called the IT guy we had for the last 6 months before the IT director was hired this week and a small rift was started when the new Director thought I didnt't require immediate attention until I got the company President to push things along.

The one thing all these company newbies fail to realize is that I was the President's go-to guy before we were a huge company so he tends to rely on me before he relies on anyone else. I have a bit more pull than the IT Dept. when it comes to computer crap, it all depends upon how I present it.

On my side, I try to deflect everything to the IT Dept. before I get get involved.
