Sysadmin Day. Yay.

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what's-your-slashdot-username-again? dept.

Izeickl writes "The BBC is running an article about sysadmin day. One admin is quoted saying, 'We are unappreciated and no-one knows what we do for 364 days of the year.' Apparently even the online greeting cards are getting in on the action check out 123Greetings.com and put a smile on that cranky admins face! The starter of this day also has a page here." Well, most competent sysadmins probably have electronic greeting cards blocked at the router, but I suppose it's the thought that counts... Jeremy Sieminski submits a Mouse Pad Couch as the appropriate place for a sysadmin to rest his weary, uh, wrists. And of course if you've never read the BOFH stories, you're missing out.

    Eh... I can go to the meet packing plant down the road and make 1.5 times more than I make being a sys admin right now. Small companies have their advantages, but a large paycheck isn't alway one of them.

    The "Bastard User From Hell" stuff sucks. Really REALLY sucks. What a cheap knock-off.

    You have been warned.
