So did anyone else think of Right Said Fred's song when they read this?

Not often but it happens that I disagree with the question itself. What is 'sexy' anyway? I don't want to mate with my job, I don't think anyone does, but I enjoy my job immensely. I enjoy it because it challenges me in a dozen different ways and I'm constantly provided opportunities to learn new stuff or explore new systems. My job is fun and rewarding. Nothing in my job involves sex, the sex trade (well I suppose we work on keeping porn results out of regular searches), or my mating instinct.

Fundamentally operations is like plumbing, you find problems you fix them, you clean up the mess. But that is like saying being an aircraft pilot is just driving from point A to point B.

If you have to ask "Is this a sexy job?" then you are asking the wrong question, you should be saying "Is there anything else I'd rather be doing?" And if that answer is yes then I encourage you to go do that other thing and be even happier than you are right now.
