System Administrator Appreciation Day - A special day, once a year, to acknowledge the worthiness and appreciation of the person occupying the role, especially as it is often this person who really keeps the wheels of your company turning.

[BigTex5]

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 expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It's the least you could do. Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let's be honest, sometimes we don't know our System Administrators as well as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.

Well, I don't know about that - but today just happened to be the day I finally got my retro backpay check for my raise that was submitted a couple months ago. I guess that'll do :D

User friendly rocks!

As I tell my classes, System Administrators have more influence in your life then most other people in the world. Never piss off a Sys Admin.

[JenB]

'Cuz if you're not nice, we'll change your password to something horrible.

[PAMadMax]

I like to think every day is SysAdmin appreciation day. I like to believe in the Easter Bunny, too.

Let them hate, so that they fear me!

[BigTex5]

Also have them read the 101 Things you shouldn't hear from a a SysAdmin and the proper use of the sysadmin's time. I love those!

"When talking about your computer, use terms like "Thingy" and "Big Connector.""

The proper term would be pH34r m3! ;)

No way! Does that have something to with, like, typewriters or something?

[ItsForTheChildren]

We just call 'em real computers.

Uh....I have this problem with my Comet Curser and HotBar at work can anyone help me??? ;-)

[Billthedrill]

Just had a luser tell me the day is imaginary. Hah! Little does she know It's Official.

Strangely, her password is about to expire. New policy calls for Secure Passwords, Level III. That's 128-character minimum, upper and lower case, numeric characters and non-keyboard ASCII mandatory, and they change every 4 days...and no, you can't use old ones. And no words in English allowed to be embedded...

[FlatLandBeer]

before SysAdmins there were Computer Operators....We were g-d like....Well more like clerics for the computer g-d that lived in the temple (computer room), people gave us their offering to the "god" in the form of card decks...and if the "god" was pleased he return to the user a completed run with no errors. However if the user displeased the "god' (or the operator) then the user would often find that the card deck offering was returned mutilated by the card reader, or shuffled, of for some reason the "bad" tape drive could read their tape.....ahh the good old days

My personal favorite ---- warning --- language. Just wish I could remember how to do the link !!! UGH, sorry

[BigTex5]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I love it!

[coder2]

Wasn't it great ???

Absolutely one of my favorites, but gotta be careful with the sound ...

[BigTex5]

The chipmunk voice saves it from really being noticeable. Even the other people in my office loved it too!

[coder2]

Excellent ---- it's great Friday humor...

[Prime Choice]

The proper term would be pH34r m3! ;)

Please. That is so 20th century. Now the biffspeak mutation is (ahem) pj34r m3!@#$%^.

And for all those users whom I intentionally told that 'rm -rf *' means "read mail real fast"...I'm still not sorry.
