I am on cloud 9. I started a new job today, and finally have my own network to run. This is what I have been waiting for. I get to make all the IT/network desicions.

Just wanted to share my good news with everyone.

Yep, jobs are cool, especially if your work involves a census of chinstrap penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula. Paychecks, now those are _cool!_

Congrats and give 'em hell.
