It seems to sway sometimes how much appreciation a Sys Admin gets, because, you know, when everything works, nobody cares, and when it's broke, it's phone calls every five minutes from Mgmt (it's gotten better though - amazing!).

Despite being the 7th Internation Sys Admin Day today, not many (users) know about it.

So, to all the other Sys Admins out there, may you not fry the BIOS, have cut T1s or fouled frames, or users installing "unauthorized stuff" (Found Doom on a machine a few days ago) lurking on a machine (Sony-BMG rootkit), and may your budgets be authorized and spendable in 2007!

Cheers!

In the past 18 hours
Me: No, we're not going to add that NT4 workstation onto the Native 2k3 Domain.

Me: No, we can't use the old Image server, which is actually still in service, to test an alternative to Citrix. It's a single proc Xeon 533. No, our old DC won't work either, it's even slower...

Yes, thank you admins! Here's some love from the software guys!

Hell, I am one and I didn't know about it.

Got asked yesterday to move over to a different account. Not terribly excited about the idea. One of those, "you should probably take this" deals.

Whaddyagonnado?

And to both of you from the end users,

It gets better. Nominate your sys admin unsung hero.
