Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day

alphadogg writes "It's the last Friday in July. Have you hugged your system administrators today? Bought a cake? Picked up the tab for lunch? There's still time to show your thanks for the unsung heroes who keep corporate desktops, servers and networks running. Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day, an annual event thought up by IT pro Ted Kekatos. A company picnic and an old HP advertisement sparked the idea for the first SysAdmin Day, now in its 12th year."

Money IS happiness. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to either get money from you, or trying to feel good about their current financial predicament.

It sin't the only thing that bring happiness, but to say it doesn't is pretty delusional.

If he is unhappy about his hours why would he be happy working the hours elsewhere?

"Seriously: a licensed nurse who knows technology will stand out in the applicant pool, because hospitals need them desperately with the move to Electronic Medical Records."

I know. I know several IT people who went into nursing, and I was in IT in the medical industry. Nursing in no way solves what THIS poster is talking about.

I will point out, that it may be a mistake for have IT experienced nurses stand out in the application pool. From what I here they end up getting pulled into all kinds of computer issues instead of doing nursing because calling IT is a pain in the ass. Hire nurse to nurse, hire IT guys to deliver high quality IT services for the nurse.
