I miss my days as a sysadmin. But I rolled into data recovery and desater planning. Then 9/11 destory the IT market and I have not gone back to admin work since. But I cant complain I like where I work now even if it is less techy and more custermor servicey then what I used to do.

Yea, clean bundling is deeply satisfying. One of the other companies cages in this building is just.... ugh. Spaghetti.

I worked at a build once that had something like 500+ connections we had to wire up and the closest for it was a nightmare. On top of that the client wanted 100 isolated to there own switch. But these 100 were not physically in the same place but all over the building. Once other departmetns heard what we were doing we got a couple of more requests for isolated networks. (don't ask I was not an admin at the time I have no idea why they agreed to that). In the end we made a fairly damn nice clean setup. Started calling in the Raindbow room beucase to make things eayser we ended up using colored cat5 to keep track of the diffrent networks.

Well I'm lucky enough to be a graduate student working at Iowa State University's Virtual Reality Application Center.
Unless you're into VR big time, you probable haven't heard of it. But all you need to know is that we have the single highest-resolution immersive virtual reality environment in the entire world. It runs on a 96-node cluster (see pic below). I'm not lucky enough to get to use it for my own research, but I get to hear them fire it up next door to my desk, which is pretty cool too.
