I was technically an intern. I worked 35ish hours a week at a Fortune 500 company doing "tier 2" support at their HQ. It was fun. I did a lot of hardware repair.
The sysadmin side of it was machine configuration, user permissions, some network stuff, and the occassional scripting problem.
The way you described your job makes it sound real fun to do despite the monotony. I realize now how passion for a job is only half the happiness; to truly be happy with one's work, they need to be happy with their co-workers as well.
PowerShell is indeed a very interesting scripting language. I have a bit of experience with it, but I wish I had a reason to use my knowledge of it. As of now, I just learned PowerShell because I was curious of all the hype around it. I would say that the hype was pretty worth it.

Was it a "fun" job, so to speak? Or was it boring and eventually tiring to write automation scripts and manage the servers 35-ish hours a week?
And also, out of my curiosity, did you script in Bash or PowerShell?
I really liked the people I worked with, so I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't start automating things out of frustration, I just wanted to get more done.
Some of both, but mostly PowerShell then. Also some Python.
