10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day
jonk689 writes "Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe will be showered with large piles of cash and expensive sports cars in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgment. It's the least you could do."
Here's the more famous homage to sysadmins dealing with lusers :)
Actors have the academy awards.
Physicists have the Nobel Prize.
Computer programmers have furry conventions.
Why not give sys admins the same respect?
Believe me, I give the sysadmins the same respect I give furries~
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
My sysadmin tattled on me when I played a prank on a co-worker by changing his wallpaper to look like his computer had an error. The admin took half a second to figure out what was wrong. Then he went off and told my manager and they sent out a company wide email saying that the sysadmin was owed an apology. I've also had a number of run ins with previous sysadmins. Blocking web access randomly and refusing to allow me to change my mouse to left handed mode.
I think it would work better as a holiday if we could couple it with Guy Fawkes day. Maybe burn a few effigies.
I know there are probably a lot of sysadmins on this website so I didn't post anonymously because I know how you people take such pleasure in getting your petty petty revenges. So that's my gift to you on your special day. :)
And that was the last Terry Fox run I ever participated in.
Actually, the least I could do is nothing.
How about a garbage collector appreciation day?
That's on October 10th.
Thank God, I hate memory leaks.

You sir, are ready to be a Sysadmin. Welcome.
