Just got off doing an upgrade for a major hotel chain. Site had 36 workstations, 1 server and 3 network switches across 3 floors, so lots of walking and lots of stairs (elevators are available, but slow and inconveniently sited). The project took 36 hours: 18 hours of work, a 6 hour break, then another 18 hours of work. No other breaks and no meals. My watch shows I walked over 50,000 steps and climbed over 50 floors worth of stairs.

There are two positions available. The first is Team Lead, who has to replace the server and network switches and restore the databases and all the user's data, and then has to help with any remaining workstations once finished with everything else. This position requires lifting extremely heavy equipment (about 75 pounds) by yourself. You're also responsible for directing the Assistants, and you're the main point of contact between the hotel and project management. The entire project is resting on your shoulders and if anything goes wrong the customer yells at you. You'll get paid about $1250 before taxes.

The other position is one of two Assistants. Your job would be to do inventory of the new equipment, then replace the existing PCs, monitors, and a handful of printers. There's more walking and physical effort (climbing under desks, running cables, moving equipment, etc), but the PCs and monitors are fairly light and you will have very little project responsibility. You might need to deal with a few individual users, but this will be rare. Your gross pay will be about $900.
