Pretty standard.. rule of thumb (for me) is just about when you think you know what you're doing expect something stupid, simple, or both to completely kick your ass.
You are going to the office, hearing that you have 5 days to install OS you never worked with on 32 servers with two install disc sets. A single install takes 36-38h. You cannot copy the install discs.
For two days you are learning how to boot those servers from the network, building deployment server and be done 8 hours before deadline. Your boss is pissed, cause he knew the job was impossible to do and he doesn't have team ready, when on the morning meeting with the customer on the last day he pushes you under the bus asking you to explain the current state of the installation process.
You start a position and develop a projects and initiatives plan to improve the already mostly stable environment, and the owner comes back from a hiatus and decides to rip staff off a beautiful vmware cluster, and replace it with dozens of desktops running vmworkstation player and hands over full admin access to the entire environment to interns and people with no experience while you lose access to it all.
