I have 6,000 Macbooks, about 2,000+ Mac desktops, and 33 or so Xserves.

Now for all my responsibilities....

-Systems Administrator
-Network Administrator
-Directory Administrator (LDAP and Open Directory)
-Server Administrator
-Package creation and deployment
-Image creation and Deployment
-Casper Administrator
-End user support
-internal documentation and training
-Making very crappy developed products work on the Macs (mostly edu apps)
-stop the sky from falling
-Maintenance and repair on all that is Mac


So basically, whenever something needs to get fixed, pushed out, deployed, or created it generally falls in my lap. I also have to do end user support as well. The good news is, I am never bored since I do almost everything, the bad news is, I have to do everything. I do wish I could specialize in other things at times, but I do like the ability to have my hands in almost everything. To be honest, I like doing most things myself, that way it gets done my way and almost always right the first time.
sounds like technical support to me. *shrug*
