 Urgh.

 Sorry, I'll clarify, since I've just been unjustifiably attacked on  
 IRC
 for making this comment.

 In my own personal opinion, I don't believe 20-25k is a decent  
 salary
 for a sysadmin role with an aggressive policy of extra hours and on  
 call
 duties.  If the job perhaps offers bonuses and/or overtime for such
 duties, that would probably make it more attractive in my eye, and
 perhaps such benefits have been omitted by accident.

 Please note that I'm expressing my own opinions, and I know of at  
 least
 one person on IRC who thought it looked just peachy.

To be fair, it's unclear if it is unpaid or not.  Hopefully the latter
... Will? :)
