rn, email, homework (I'm a student admin), try to keep warm in a freezing
operators room (they ac it to the same temp as the machine room)...

I get most of my studying done inbetween tape changes.

Also, my co-admin and I spend a lot of time suring backups working on
projects and problems for the system.  (fixing sendmail.cf, tracking users'
"bug reports", etc...)
