Speaking of which, "informal survey"

"What do you do for a living, and whats your "history" ?"

Me:  Systems admin (approaching 1.5 years now) with a major
telecommunications company (a Bell), managing Solaris. HPUX, IRIX,
and Tru64 machines.

Before this, I had a short stint as the "Computer Guy" for a local
engineering firm managing their internal network, and from '95-98
and '99-2000, worked at an ISP of some sort, usually as a systems
admin or the head systems admin (UNIX).

Prior to '93 was high school, and '93-95 was college.  I'll be
27 in november.

Dream job:  Working for Sun in some capacity, or winning the lottery
and just working at a local ISP or somesuch just to have something to
do (I'm a workaholic, and have had a fulltime or near-fulltime job 
continuously since I was 15..)
