5.) Vendors and consultants will take all the credit when things work well and will blame you when things go wrong

happens anywhere anytime anyplace, not just in IT.. it's called HUMAN INSTINCT (to take the credit and blame the fault on others)..

6.) Your nontechnical co-workers will use you as personal tech support for their home PCs

Your co-workers (in addition to your friends, family, and neighbors) will view you as their personal tech support department for their home PCs and home networks. They will e-mail you, call you, and/or stop by your office to talk about how to deal with the virus that took over their home PC or the wireless router that stopped working after the last power outage and to ask you how to put their photos and videos on the Web so their grandparents in Iowa can view them. Some of them might even ask you if they can bring their home PC to the office for you to fix it. The polite ones will offer to pay you, but some of them will just hope or expect you can help them for free. Helping these folks can be very rewarding, but you have to be careful about where to draw the line and know when to decline. For help, take a look at TechRepublic’s free download “Ten ways to decline a request for free tech support.”

Maka relate gyud ko ani.

I mean dili gani ko sysads sa amo office pero when a lot of people heard that I had above average technical knowledge with P.C.'s they made me they're personal tech support for their home P.C.'s. It has even come to the point that they bring they're computers to the office to let me fix it. As of last count about 10 P.C.'s have been brought to the office for me to fix.

5.) Check (in my case, ang akong amo - note : di ka kabawi kay kung maguba gani, ikaw ang kasab-an labi na ug wala nacheck tarong ang mga special cases (read : case to case basis a.k.a. WORST CASE SCENARIOS )
4.) Check ( one client ask as to recreate their system dos based - to web based at same speed, same access keys.. )
3.) QUESTIONABLE!!! (not unless kadtong gusto gyud dos based lang gihapon, see no. 4)
2.) CHECK (Previous client, requires that everything should pass through their IT office, Its Money and Power)
1.) CHECK ( naa ko nailhan)
