Ouch, I do feel your pain . . . oops sorry - it was MY pain.
You know, when all their programs and servers are running like clockwork - I picture Auctiva as a very professional organization occupying suites in the heart of a stylish business park.
Ahhh, but then there are those dreaded 'Down Days' - such as today. I imagine three or four college dudes in faded pendleton shirts, consuming mass quantities of stale pizza and beer - while operating in a dusty loft over a detached garage somewhere in Chico.
Finally, from Auctiva's Job Line...
Title: System Administrator
Location: Chico, CA
"Experienced System Administrator needed.
Job responsibilities include maintaining and troubleshooting a collection of servers, building and testing both development and test machines."
Somewhere in Kansas is an unemployed IT guy thinking, "Hmmmm ~ this might be a rewarding career move!"
That's just a joke, Son!
