<p class="MsoNormal">My last job was with XM Satellite Radio as a Broadcast Systems & Applications Technician (basically a Systems Engineer). As such we were responsible for development, direct support, maintenance and general administration of all server
and workstation systems in all of XMSR Broadcast Operations. This included all of the servers and players in the Technical Operations Center (TOC) in Washington, DC. This is the DC for all of OPS in XM. My group (myself and two other guys) were always planning
on moving into the DC for billeting; but we never got around to it. Stayed in quarters with Broadcast Technical Support (BTS) in their shop area on the wall facing Eckington Place NE. My office window faced FedEx (toward New York Avenue) and had a much better
view than I would have had in the TOC. (The only "window seat" I would have there was Microsoft Windows -- yuck!!) That DC was very LOUD and rather on the cool side! Would have to have worn hearing protection and a coat at all times.<br>
<br>
Kinda glad we never moved in there....<br>
<br>
Ah, how I do miss some of the good ole' days....but each job has it's own charm and XM did have it's very own. But XM has faded into history and I'm on a new page now and don't have to play in a loud DC anymore!<br>
