i worked as an administrative assistant (AdAss!) for a year after graduation, talked my way onto the help desk b/c i had been doing all the software support for other adasses, lasted there for eight months before the stupid people drove me away screaming and talked my way into the unix group by offering to be their slave. (the fact that i had taken over most of the unix support on the help desk didn't hurt either). four years later i'm a senior admin in aix and tru64 unix working for a really huge company that doesn't pay as well as it should but allows me to wear my dr. seuss cat-in-the-hat hat and hurl rubber frogs at co-admins.
