CHOOSE SYSADMIN:
Choose no life. Choose no career. Choose no family. Choose a f---ing big
computer, choose disk arrays the size of washing machines, modem racks, CD-Rom
writers, and electric coffee makers. Choose no sleep, high caffene and mental

Choose chairs for your office in a range of f---ing fabrics.
Choose SMPT and wondering why the f--k you are logged in on a Sunday morning.
Choose sitting in that swivel chair looking at mind-numbing, spirit-crushing

than an embaressment to the selfish, f---ed up losers Gates spawned to replace
the computer illiterate...
Choose your future...
