I hesitated before posting this, but aren't we each allowed one
off-topic (or strained-tie-in) per calendar year?

A few years ago there was a company named Orbitz that put out "natural
fruit drinks" with a kind of 50's retro look to them.  They were in
clear glass bottles with floating balls of flavor suspended in the
liquid.  I had bought a bottle with intentions to give to a friend as a
kind of joke.  To this day, I've got an unopened bottle of Orbitz in my
liquor cabinet.
Doesn't it look delicious: http://augustcouncil.com/~tgibson/orbitzpic.jpg

The back label even includes the http://www.orbitz.com/ URL.

Regarding Orbitz, this is what a friend of mine who works there had to
say in response to this thread.

If you want to pass it along to them...


The job listings are correct, we are hiring all the positions listed.

The "UNIX System Administrator" position is for the Network Operations
Center where I work.  Specifically, we are looking for a Senior level
administrator with experience in Solaris and Red Hat Linux.  Having
experience in Veritas, Cisco, Programming (Perl, C, Shell), HP Openview,
Omnibus NetCool, and Help Center Experience is a definate plus.

Having your Solaris Certification would not hurt either.

Th department hours are shift work, so you would be working any one of
the
following side of the week or hours.  There is some rotation, but for
the
most part, it is pretty static.

Sunday - Wednesday
Wednesday - Saturday
7:00am - 5:00pm
3:00pm - 1:00am
11:00pm - 9:00am
