i am an "IT specialist" as i am called. occasionally i'll go on the unix server and look for files, maybe mount a tape. usually i just sit around and wait for people to call, and tell them to reboot their computer since its running win98. sometimes i'll replace a monitor.


i guess i dont do crap, but i'm told i'm underpaid at $8.50 an hour . oh well, its a part time school job anyways, i am getting valuable resume fodder.

Start full backups on UNIX server. Route them to device NULL to make them fast.
