They are looking for Jr. Sys Admins, but are trying to filter out the 
GUI psuedo geeks by putting in all that other stuff.

Jr. Sys Admins working the phones at an Co-Lo in LV are running $15 an 
hour, so for a smaller town, I'm not surprised at all with $13/hr.  Note 
that it doesn't say anything about being on-call, so all this person is 
going to be doing is handling cases kicked to them by the sorters when 
the sorters can't point the person to a FAQ.

Think: password resets, checking to make sure the network problem really 
exists, etc.
