System Administrator, Full Time

Are you sick of doing the corporate monkey dance ?

Do ya yearn for the days when being a "professional" meant inspiring fear and awe amongst the hapless users whilst you saved the day with little more than a paper clip and magnet with perfect intent and clarity (and correctness of course) ?

Yes, no, maybe ?

If you would rather be judged by:

    * The type of haircut you have;
