I was just sitting here at work doing some vmware stuff when I had a very sudden flashback to probably about eight years ago. I was working remotely somewhere (Mom's? Dale's? My house?) and jumped through 4 or 5 machines to get to one I needed to work in. I had some sort of virtual software open and edited or created a server, increased server space, something. I'm not sure what I was doing. I only remember thinking how cool it was that a) I could do it remotely and b) I was reconfiguring something virtually. I am pretty sure this was relatively new to us at the time and that it was big. But I must have been following a procedure of sorts because I wasn't that high on the food chain at the time. I was probably a level 2 tech, in fact, nowhere near a sysadmin yet.
There was certainly a feeling of elation and power, though, whatever I was doing. It is rather scary to think that I had such power in my hands at such an early point in my career, but, thankfully, I never blew up anything that someone else could not readily fix or that couldn't wait for me to fix. LOL!
Anywho, virtual computing is still freakin' awesome to me.
