What do you do at DreamHost?
Rack/deploy new servers. Fix old servers so they can be re-deployed. Monitor our servers and fix problems. Disable bad scripties.
What's your favorite part about working here?
Laid back environment, working with Linux all day, root-access on all DreamHost's servers =)
What's the craziest thing you've ever seen while working at DreamHost?
A customer's site causing the server to swap thrash when ever someone accessed a certain page on their site. I then tested it on my system and it made Firefox consume massive amounts of memory and almost crashed my computer (swap thrashing).

Only seeing the sky as my car went off the side of a mountain pass going backwards...
