Nor I -- and not just because of your stories.  I never have and never will work in IT (I'm not even remotely qualified), and I could've told you that.  ::)

I'm guessing that the only real requirement is showing up at work knowing that the fridge back home is well stocked with beer.

It's required as a coping mechanism.
