That reminds me of my ISP days. I worked for a 300 customer dial up ISP as the Jr. Admin and did all the tech support. I even co-wrote a billing system in Access. One day, the bosses wife decides that since her 5 year old is now in school she is bored and wants to learn the businees. I spent 2 hours explaining how to transfer a domain name with NSI and she still didn't get it. Then she told the boss I had no idea what I was doing. *bangs head on desk*

I was working at and ISP as a coder, it was pretty bad. I made a quarter more an hour than the receptionist did. And she made more than some of tech support people. None of the original employees are still there. The work there was nothing but crap. I was writing a Perl content management system, that stored to a text file. It ended up being pretty slick, but then it was perl and wrote to a text file.
