    The kind where no one appreciates you, the kind where no one rewards you for the hard work that you do, the kind where if your not careful, you'll end up there for twenty years.

    I used to be an Electronic Technician, then a Computer Technician, then a Trainer/Network guy, now I look at how well people do their job and then tell them how to do their job better.

    I also do some side PC/Network/Web stuff, but lately business is sloooooow.
