How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day?
jfruh writes "July 26 is Sysadmin Day, the system administrator's version of Secretary's Day. Are you giving your hardworking sysadmin the recognition they deserve? Blogger (and, yes, sysadmin) Sandra Henry-Stocker argues that a holiday like this is needed because due to the nature of their job, in everyday life sysadmins 'get noticed least when they do the best work' So if your systems run so smoothly that you sometimes forget you even have a sysadmin on staff, be sure to recognize them for their excellent work today."
First I'm going to delete your inbox.
Then I'm going to switch your phone extension with Larry in facilities management.
And I think this afternoon I will take the Production environment down for a little while.

As usual, the only people who know (or care) about SysAdmin Day are sysadmins. Therefore, nothing is being done to celebrate it. Not even a free donut.

The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world!
It can be challenging, but don't let anyone else tell you what your limitations are.
Oh, did you mean the users? ;-)

Quick, I need A black T-Shirt(preferably with an antisocial saying in white block letters), some Mountain Dew(or preferably Jolt Cola), a Carpal Tunnel wrist brace, a desk piled with manuals and CD-R spindles, and a LOT of terminal windows open.
Hmm, looks like I already have the terminal windows part covered........and the black T-Shirt...and the CDR Spindles
Crap.
Aim for the neckbeard, it's his weakest point.
The cow says "Moo." The dog says "Woof." The Timothy says "Thanks, valued customer. We appreciate your input."
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!
Are you saying system administrators are gods?
No, we're more in the Lord of the Files territory.
