  1. Awesome co-workers by wuie · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Last year, SysAdmin day went with hardly a word at my workplace. I heard about it on Slashdot, told it to my boss, and then we would randomly say it to whoever we helped that day, as a joke. Since my boss and I are the only two IT people at our workplace, things tend to get swamped from time to time.

    Today, I was sitting at my desk busy with code for a new app when I'm handed a card. Inside are all of my co-worker's signatures, saying thanks for all the hard work that I've done over the past year.

    I was utterly baffled, since I had no idea why I was receiving a card. It wasn't until I remembered last year, and came here to see if it was SysAdmin day. When I can get a card from my co-workers before Slashdot can post the holiday, that's an awesome feeling.

    I'll probably be grinning ear to ear for the rest of the day. :)
