[ale] What's my job title?

[Jeff Hubbs]

I wound up in IT after an EE degree and ~3 years in software 
engineering.. But later on, A Former Employer would *ignore* the only 
electrical engineer on staff, who told them they were powering racked 
servers improperly and didn't change their practices when a failed power 
supply in one server knocked out most of the servers in an entire cabinet.

I left straight IT soon thereafter.
