I work (technically) in an IT support team at a University.
In reality, I fiddle with online materials and electronic administration as we're not allowed to "fix" the PC's any more.........

I've been in IT since Marconi was a boy. After doing lots of field based hardware jobs, I've accidentally ended up as a backup and storage specialist. Now working for one of the world's biggest data storage companies, running a backup project for a large data centre owner.

You can wake up now, I've finished :)
