Subject: Re: [lopsa-discuss] I need a change
I'm not done with computers or technology, but I am done with being a
keyboard monkey. I need to actually solve problems. That means either
an architect, management or data center manger position. I'm tired of
trying to do work that is equivalent to digging the Panama Canal with a
teaspoon.
