Here's an odd question for you, how do you become a MySQL DBA?

I've got enough Solaris/Linux Experience under my belt and I was a Jr.
Oracle DBA for a year, which got me really interested in RDBMS. I try
to work with MySQL as much as possible, but I work with one of those
large telco's that does not like anything where they can't pay large
amounts of money. This means I have to work it into my spare time.

I've been trying to tie MySQL into basic services: ftp, DSPAM, pop3,
AND offer help for what we do have: running backups and repairing the
odd table when needed.

But the question is, what else could I do to help develope DBA skills?
 Right now I have very little data that goes beyond 2 tables, so my
query skills are withering.
