[Clusterusers] compute-1-18 and 1-3

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

ah OK - yeah it wasn't running tractor so that's why. Unfortunately I
just screwed that up for you. Compute-1-18 is one of the faster nodes,
so you chose well. Four of Eva's jobs just got dispatched to that node,
but I think if you "eject and reschedule" them, it probably won't screw
things up for her? I have already NIMBYed the node. Sorry about that!

If you need me to do that because it says you don't have permission, let
me know.
