The place I work at now, I had to figure out and deconstruct a ~20 page intranet site with databases and a custom Problem Ticket system...running on a w2k3 server that was over 15 yrs old.... first step, VM that pos. Then it took me close to a year to be finally comfortable knowing where and how everything worked..

I had to start over 4 times in my life. Work my way up. Be there for a little while. Then the company shuts down. The longest I've been in one place was at the power plant at 13 years. Elliott was 12 years. Every place else, I was lucky to get 2 years in. I had to adapt with the times. Been a mechanic, machinist, welder, pipe fitter, blacksmith, gov't worker, armed security, drove armored car, CRO, BOP operators.
