Oh man...I absolutely agree with you on that one Admin!  I used to be in your shoes.  I swear, some people are just not meant to operate computers.  I started off doing that at my school here and with a lot of hard work and perseverance, I am now in charge of the maintenance of our residential network in the dorms here.  I absolutely love me job now. It's a little step but the knowledge that I gain in tinkering around with these new Cisco routers/cable modems and other network equipment definitely will pay off in the long run.

I guess my little advice here is to be a little more patient.  Good things usually come to those who have the desire and the hunger to go after what they want.  I'm sure things will brighten up soon.
