Infact any place that I can stretch out and not hit a cow-orkers shoulder would be nice. When Ingvar/Susan was here on Monday (the phone firewall was on holiday and we threatened Ingvar with getting him to act as the phone firewall instead :) he did comment that it was a little small.
I've taken some photos of TCP Towers which show how small it is...

I've got a feeling that I will be dragged kicking and screaming away from recovery into sysAdmin again.
I can just see myself sitting at the keyboard one day and....
| Simes: | [contented sigh] Another program that has works. What now... |
|---|---|
[The door to the office suddenly bursts open. Several rather large "men" ] [come in who are wearing dark suits and black sun glasses. They walk ] [purposely over to Simes. ] | |
| Admin: | Ah Mr Burr, we believe that you have a Solaris 2.1 box to administer. |
| Simes: | Pardon ? |
| Admin: | The Cabal(tm) have found that you have recovered from a state of systems administration and we are here to make ammends. For your crimes you will be forced to admin a Solaris 2.1 box for a period of at least one year. |
[At the mention of the "The Cabal" the other admins and Simes mutter ] [under their breath "There is no Cabal (tm)" ] | |
| Simes: | Admin Solaris 2.1 ? No anything but that! |
| Admin: | I'm sorry Mr Burr, but recovery such as yours require drastic methods |
| Simes: | At least let me admin 2.4... |
| Admin: | I'm sorry, but its 2.1 for you. Take him away! |
[At this the other admins grab hold of Simes and drag him away from the ] [keyboard. Simes valiently attempts to hold onto the desk, monitor, ] [keyboard or anything else that will stop him from the hell to which he ] [has been sentanced. He fails. ] | |
| Simes: | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
[Simes' scream slowly echos down the corridor. ] | |
| Admin: | [To other programmers] Let this be a warning to you all. |
