Dilbert On Being The Firewall Guy

It is rough being the firewall guy.  People always blame the firewall, probably because A) it is a box which by design prevents things from happening, and B) the average end user has no control over.  So as a firewall guy you end up fixing a lot of completely non-firewall-related issues because that's the only way to prove that the firewall isn't at fault.

And yet, some of us voluntarily choose to be the firewall guy.  Possibly because you can "accidentally" prevent people who are mean to you from getting at the internet.  Not that ever happens, no, people tend to be nice to this firewall guy.

Now, anyways.
