Today's a good day to go out and thank those who keep your network running, your email flowing, and your boss puzzled.

9th annual? I've been a sysadmin for 5 years and I didn't know this existed. *runs to show boss*.

I learned about it last year. Alas, no one around here cares enough to get me a gift. Maybe I should shut down some servers and go to lunch for a couple of hours and turn off my Blackberry.

Congrats to you all ... and thanks ... Sysadmins are not always seen for everything that they do IMO ...
Let's leave all our *plum* where it is and go live in the jungle ...

Jeeze, I just got done spending 4 flipping hours making 5 servers backup onto one tape because my second tape drive crapped out, and my networks users will never know any different. We have a mostly thankless job, but thanks to you who gave thanks to us!
Like Mr Spork, I also write about my interest in alcoholic beverages.
