    "Only unimportant jobs such as secretaries and the like get their own "appreciation days".

    If I were a sysadmin, I'd be insulted."

    Actually, secretaries and sys admins fall into a line of work that requires them to work their asses off and receive little to no recognition for hard work when their users/bosses become successful.

    I'd actually feel that appreciating them one day out of the year is a step in the right direction. Now for the other 364 days...

    Nah... you've got it all wrong. Ever consider that an "appreciation day" is simply a reminder to say "Hey, thanks"? Some people appreciate a pat on the back every now and then (apparently not you).
