ventrilo is a sausage fest
I got the job.
I now have minions, my own desk with a computer, phone extension, and email address. I also get a parking pass to park anywhere on campus, and I can use it while still going to my classes, which is much closer than any student parking on a busy day.

In Addition, this position works in a team-oriented environment with other technical and professional staff within the department to support internet connectivity, distance learning, staff, faculty, and departmental applications.
