I'd love to get back into a mostly-sun environment (I've adminned everything
from HPs to SGIs to Sun boxes, etc) where I could do something *exciting*
and *interesting*.  I should never have admitted I knew hp-ux when I
started here, because all four HP boxes in the entire company got foistered
off on me...

Dont get me wrong, its a good job that I like, with a profitable company that
pays well, it just gets boring sometimes.

Sometimes I miss being one of the head guys in charge, and not having
to deal with level upon level of big-company politics, etc.

My stress level has gone way down in the past year, tho.  I dont even
run network cable or such anymore - they have entire other DEPARTMENTS
for that here.  I havent touched a router (that I didnt personally own) 
in over a year.
