I never bother unsubscribing from most of the job boards I signed up on when I was looking for work a couple years ago, after all, it never hurts to know what's out there. Anyway, a posting for a Systems Administrator came in and this was written in the "Working Conditions" section:
  • On-call availability.
  • Sitting for extended periods of time.
  • Dexterity of hands and fingers to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, power tools, and to handle other computer components.
  • Occasional inspection of cables in floors and ceilings.
  • Lifting and transporting of moderately heavy objects, such as computers and peripherals.
I shudder to think that someone may have felt it seriously necessary to point out that a Systems Administrator should be able to sit for long periods of time, operate a keyboard and mouse, crawl under desks and lift computers. It can't be serious. But then again one of the other job requirements was an MCSE.

Cool

Watch my cam right now. They are cutting the fire escape off today and you can see the sparks flying past.

And if you missed it, here's what it looked like:

Sparks!

And now they are doing my floor:

Sparks!
