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."
Actors have the academy awards.
Physicists have the Nobel Prize.
Computer programmers have furry conventions.
Why not give sys admins the same respect?

Why should you get a gift for doing your job like everyone else does?
Power-plant engineers, electricians, and A/C maintenance folks do not get appreciation days. And without their work, no servers would be up and available.
Believe me, I give the sysadmins the same respect I give furries~

This just cements you in place as being very low on the corporate totem pole. Every hear CEO appreciation day? Management appreciation day? Doctor appreciation day? Engineer appreciation day (engineer's day in India doesn't count)? Lawyer appreciation day?
No?
How about teacher appreciation day? Secretary (or, ahem, administrative assistant) appreciation day? See where I'm going with this? I wouldn't take this as a compliment.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
How about a garbage collector appreciation day?
That's on October 10th.
Thank God, I hate memory leaks.
Actually, the least I could do is nothing.
You sir, are ready to be a Sysadmin. Welcome.
