I am a former student with my two year Assosociate's—a General Transfer—that one day I'd like to turn into something more. That doesn't look like it's going to happen soon though, for many reasons. (Thank you, educational system of the USA. *sigh*)
So instead of attending school, I work at one. :D I'm Blackboard technical support at the local community college. I am the person you call when you forget your password, or whenever IT doesn't feel like dealing with it. ("Okay, so your problem is that the phone in your office doesn't work. Why were you transfered to me again?")
What I'm officially supposed to do is basically keep the system running and play help desk, because Blackboard is complicated enough that the Student Help Desk can't make heads or tails of it, but when the calls are slow I basically spend my time goofing off. (sweatdrop) The rule is that as long as I'm available for calls/e-mails/server explosions, no one really much cares what I do. I figure that the "omg I need to be in seven places at once" moments balance out with the "is it Friday yet" moments in the end.
