System Administrators
Do you depend of system administrators? Yeah, me too. And that suckz. Why they say something works, we say it doesn't, they say it does, we say it doesn't, they say it does, and finally we think "go fuck yourself, I'll forget it and use it otherway".
Good I am not a system administrator, because people might say the same about me. Good is also that I am the administrator of my own server, and my own mail server. Pheww...

Are you sure they are REAL Systems Administrators? Yes, because real sysadmins try to figure out what is happening and why what you want doesen't work without forgetting to check if your're supposed to have access to "that non-working stuff".
I'm not defending your sysadmin, but rather the Systems Administration concept. From time to time I hear someone complaining about ALL sysadmins, but that's not an intelligent approach to the problem which is the not-so-skilled person acting as sysadmin.
TIP: hire another sysadmin :D

I am the sysadmin ;)
But your sysadmin's response sounds like you just didn't detail the problem well enough. We get a lot of people saying 'it doesn't work', when they're just doing stuff wrong themselves.
Or, it worked as the sysadmin intended it to, but you needed it to work differently. Fine, just be clear about it.
(Of course if none of the above are true, it's time to educate him)
