Sysadmin Day. Yay.
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.
Remember what the trolls do for you! We make slashdot a better place! So you better Stick your head in ere!
Considering yourself to be above the company.
Believing the needs of the company should work around you, rather than vice-versa.
Having a high opinion of yourself for doing something that any reasonable competent engineer could do for themselves.
Knowing how to install RPMs, reboot machines, and install cable, for that is what Sysadmins truly do.
Whining that foreigners are taking American jobs, not realizing that these are people with skills, and they're not coming to take your lowly-ass systems administration job.
And lastly, thank you sysadmins, for:
Making everyone's lives more difficult.
