Well I used to work for a data center, very small one, but now with a new signed contract here in toronto with some of the biggest companies, they have just relocated to own building, huge, with great facilities and space. I have been promoted, what i used to do was manage the businesses (clients) servers, but now I manage others who do it, I will be working full-time this summer, and the company is putting me through University.

I am really happy, becasue it pays good, and its a great job :) (Sitting around with the newest updated technology)

Edit: They have a contract with dells for all employees, and all managers, directors all get to test the new systems before it gets out:)

Its great!

It's an emergency messenging system. I'd link to a product image I made a year ago, but my host is down so it could be interesting:
