She is a cat of significant gravy.
EDIT: JOB TAKING OFF THE SITE, THEY ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

I'm a CJ and another tech at the local Sheriffs office quit full time but he's still on part time. The last guy did not understand what "name of the server" meant, but he knew how to use Access. The database that you'll help support is on Windows ME or 98 or some stupid OS because something was written in VisualBasic and can't be easily ported over to something worthwhile. You won't have to work near me, you would be about one mile away so you won't be able to smell me. You'll get to see us every other Tuesday though.

Who they are: Williamson County Sheriffs Office in Tennessee
Where: Franklin, TN
Title: Juvenile Services System Technician
Description: The Williamson County Government Juvenile Services Department is accepting applications for a Computer Systems Technician. This position will support the information technology system for the offices of the Williamson County Juvenile Services Department. Must have programing experience with Microsoft Access database as well as experience with Windows XP operating systems and Novell client/server software. Must be able to respond after hours for critical system problems for those offices that are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If you wish to get into the exciting world of computer janitoring you can apply here:
They are no longer accepting applications

As far as I know you won't be supporting their network.

If they offer the same benefits as the rest of the county you get full health insurance and some other goodies. Full time employees have 5% taken from each pay check to pay into TCRS which is a retirement fund for Tennessee government workers.

Edit: I should not have put who "we" are, changed it to who "they" are. I am a tech for the general county, the job is for the Sheriffs Office which is funded by the county.

Edit 2: More information on that database, it's one of those databases that people think are far more important than it really is. There's nothing super complicated with it according to the director of IT.

For those of you around Franklin, TN an entry level computering job is open at the local Sheriff's Department.
http://williamsoncounty-tn.gov/index.aspx?NID=880
Application, all 12 pages of it: http://williamsoncounty-tn.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/10275

Our network guys handle their network and we handle user account administration in Novell (we are moving to Active directory), so you won't be blind sided with anything other than regular computer stuff. I've nothing to do with their side, but the job is hidden a bit so I'm helping get it out there.
