I'm a network admin for a federal gov't office. I'm pretty much their go-to guy if it runs on electricity, though... <sigh>

LOL - truth is, I love my job too. I've been into computers since I first laid eyes on one when I was about 12. My first one was a Vic20. Went from there to a C-64, then an Apple IIe, then our first clone - a 286. I didn't know a damned thing about what I was doing, and I moved the DOS directory!! LOL! I learned a lot about computers that night because I had to fix it before my dad found out... Been fixing, building, selling and repairing computers of a variety of types ever since.

Most common question - how to get rid of spyware? Second up is how to speed up their computers. I too have made a fair bit on the side cleaning up spyware/malware on the computers of the clueless and while I despise the fsckers that write the stuff, I can't say I don't appreciate the extra income!

I spent a fair bit of time over the years working at jobs I hated, and have taken significant risks to get where I am. I'm here to tell you, it's not worth working the job if you dread going to work in the morning, no matter how much you're making.
