True enough, but we've got some systems guys who are pretty darn close. We run an incredibly complicated network consisting of computers from a dozen different manufacturers, some of which we can change and some of which we can't. The list of guys who actually understands most of what the entire system does is REALLY short. There are a couple of guys who can fix virtually anything, and while they aren't technically indispensable, it would take years to train up anyone else on the system.

So "indispensable" may not really be attainable for most of us. But it's possible to be so incredibly useful that people can't imagine what the workplace would be like without you.

My personal pair of pennies,
