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

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.

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

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!

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.""
