Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006

ferrgle writes with a reminder of the annual observation of Sysadmin Day. "This celebration's aim is to acknowledge the tireless effort that sysadmins perform every day of the year. It is celebrated on the last Friday of July and more info can be read at sysadminday.com This year there is also a dedicated site for sys admins who are Welsh or who live in Wales (it can be found at sysadminday.org.uk). We hope that all sys admins have a nice day on Friday and get a little less hassle than normal."

    Same for valentine's day or mother's day.

    My kids asked me one Mother's day, "Hey, how come there's no Kids Day?". Answer: "Because every other friggen day of the year is kids day."

    Sad to say, there a plenty of people out there who tend to treat people who are important or do important things to them like they are furniture. With kids, of course, it's natural, and it's your fault if you don't train 'em out of it.

    But it doesn't hurt to be forced to at least fake appreciation for those people once and a while. I view it kind of like putting a paraplegic on a machine that works and stretches his leg muscles. Maybe if science finds a cure for his condition, then his unused muscles won't be atrophied past any hope of recovery.
