Number of admins per number of users



Greetings,

2  Windows NT application server
1  Windows NT print server
1  Windows NT primary domain controller
1  Citrix server
6  Laptops (3 NT Workstation, 3 Win95)
30 Desktop computers (18 Win95, 8 Win98, 4 NT Workstation)
1  ISDN WAN link
1  Switched 56k WAN Link
1  pair Cisco routers

Approx. 150 users

Services include: WWW, FTP, NFS, DNS, LPD, Samba, proprietary

Soon to add:
2  HP-9000 (1 core database, 1 radio frequency)

There are only two of us, administrators, at the site.  Lately I have
become overwhelmed with things to do.  It is probably a comman thing but I
was wondering "typically" how many admins are there at a site like ours.

At the risk of "boss bashing" I am the only technical person at the site.
They, (HR), have mad mention about hiring a person to support me.  I don't
know what the norm would be. 
	1) Should we all be working on the same things?
	2) Should we departmentalize?
	3) Am I "not really" overwhelmed, but just think I am?

Thanks in advance,
	Bennett
