I just got done working in a virtually-unnamed building - relatively low-pay but it worked fine for me (left about 1.5 years ago - will not name the organization)

Actually liked it - completely forbidden to public access in general on a day-to-day basis. Lots of secured doors and entrances

Both cars got messed up in those years, though

I’ve been in a couple of them - one was a bank building with no banking - IOW, a data center (building still stands, parking garage next door was destroyed probably for structural reasons) - yeah I parked there - in the 1980’s

I interviewed for a position at a data center company near Sacramento (didn’t get it). The facility was nearing construction completion and it was a VERY fascinating tour.

People have NO idea of what is behind the scenes to keep these bits flowing. It is staggeringly complex and sophisticated.

I worked in the power industry for 30 years and it was the same thing. I often thought to myself “How could this staggeringly complex, very large system with hundreds of millions of parts possibly keep the power in 24 x 7?”
