Actually, I don't recall hearing or suggesting
the admin buddy idea
before. It has the advantages of being easy to organize, easy to
maintain, fits into existing work habits, and encourages the development
of more long-term relationships. Many admins already tag-team on
stressful issues, it just tends to be ephemeral, and so an admin gets
sufficient support one month and then the next month is unnoticed until
the spectacular flameout.
I don't have a problem with the idea of "admin buddies"; although in
some
cases it may be the blind leading the blind, or the deaf leading the blind
(each having their own set of challenges).
The biggest problem with the deaf leading the blind is that the deaf
don't listen very well. ;-)
