Sysadmin Day. Yay.

My boss posted the sys-admin day website (printed out) on the wall of our break room. At first no one noticed, but yesterday a few people did. We didn't realize that anyone would take it seriously but now today we got here and someone made us a cake and we got some nerf toys. Maybe where I work is the only place anyone took this seriously, but I know I feel loved (thanks to sys-admin day :-)
my point was, she thought it had the nimda virus (really hard for a server running apache, and not running samba), and she wouldn't let me back in (even disconnected from the network) because she thought it would resume spreading.
