SysAdmins, We Thank You

How often do you think about the phones, desktop of laptop, network, or wireless device (well, the one you use for official business) that you use? Not that much? Consider yourself lucky, or maybe it's the systems administrators who keep things up and running that all you need to worry about is your real job or even updating your Facebook status. Yes, today is Systems Administrator Appreciation Day. And this message goes to everyone who has been well-served by their IT personnel.

Ted Kekatos has been touting the flag in recognition of a day for sysadmins for ten years now at his site, http://www.sysadminday.com/ and has suggestions for showing appreciation to them.

If you're a sysadmin reading this, know that your efforts are appreciated every day. Even so, SysAdmin Appreciation Day is a good excuse for those you live to serve to stop and give thanks for your efforts. So, don't be shy and pass this note to them. And if you're a sysadmin who takes this day seriously, let us know how you plan to celebrate today.
