You know, for all that I sometimes have days that suck, it occurs to me that I really do LIKE what I do. Yeah, systems administration definitely has days where you just want to nuke the world and cleanse the stupidity, but for the most part I get to do cool stuff. I get paid to play with computers and networks. Over the course of my career I've worked in academia, industry, telecom, and govt. I've worked with everything from a the lowly dumb term to systems that had dedicated buildings. I've built standalone systems, corporate networks, and everything in between. And you know what? It's mostly been a hell of a lot of fun.

I'll be in L.A. for a few days in the middle of May for work, and likely most of June will be spent Somewhere Else. It's going to suck in a lot of ways (14 - 20 hour days, 6 days a week), but the stuff I'll be playing with is cool. If I don't spend the Seventh Day dead, I'll even be in a nice place and I'll put up pics when I get back.

I totally forgot NG was sending you to LA for part of May. I'll spending time with our RTN overlords in El Segundo for those days (and doing some other stuff with the rest of the group I work with on a day to day basis for fun while we're out there). I need to make another trip to Chicago and hang with y'all again soon. It's been a few years now.

You are welcome any time. Except for May 7-14. Oh, and Memorial Day. And July 4th. And probably Thanksgiving....
