I'm in a bit of a pickle, RE: Automation.

I mostly think in terms of the letters I signed, asking that I please destroy all materials related to the work I performed for them and any associated clients.

I can't pull out a magic wand and erase my memories, so those are still there. But the words I signed my name under were pretty explicit.

And the scripts are my own. So I cling to them like a child...but yes, I do get what you are saying.

The scripts walk through how to do a semi-highly in-demand admin's job, under almost any circumstance. Including 3 different OS', 3 different database types, 3 different firewall types, 3 different loadbalancers, etc.

In short: anything a potential client might ask for. Because I was sick of answering questions about the different configurations.

I do appreciate you pulling this explanation out of me...but it's still not an easy thing for me to talk about.
