Mike "Ancient Admin" Sack, The Ancient Admin

I qualify for the job because my son knows the owner very well and got me a job. Besides they need someone who knows a lot about nothing important.

I haven't killed anyone in years so I play Counter Strike and I am still having the same problem. I am 68 years old and use binocular glasses and have my nurse type for me. She helps me play CS but is a lousy shot and I may fire her.
