Replying to this is probably a really stupid thing to do...

However, I'll say one thing, your CV should show your job decription as
it was stated in your job contract i.e. what your employer hired you to
be. If your employer hired you as "senior sysadmin" then that's what you
can put in your CV. if you put anything other than that then you're
likely to be found out at a later stage in proceedings, what you
actually did in a practical sense is an entirely different matter and
something a prospective employer should have enough sense to determine
through other means.
