Two years ago I was contracted by a local phone survey company to replace their dumb terminals with Linux desktops. After a few hiccups with supporting old (Dell) hardware, we successfully rolled out 25 Ubuntu 9.04 desktops and got them working with their custom hardware and software. I made a LiveCD and a reinstall disc so if something broke during the day, everything could be run from the LiveCD, and replaced with the reinstall disc at night.

Only problem was, they didn't tell me it was a contract position, they told me I was an employee in charge of installation and support. Very surprised when I got to work and my keycard access was revoked.
