Friday, July 28th, 2006 is System Administrator Appreciation Day!
By DEANNA DAHLSAD
This annual event is in its 7th year and honors those folks who keep servers and networks running smoothly. You may not see them, you may not even think of them -- at least until you have a problem! System Administrators work long hours, weekends, and are constantly on call. You have a problem, you call and wail for them to make everything all right. And they do. They're sort of like moms that way.
Also like moms, our System Administrators know us better than we know them. Sometimes they even know us better than we know ourselves -- or at least they know us at our worst and still put up with us. Like our moms, our System Administrators aren't shown much appreciation for all the work they do. (When's the last time you called your System Administrator just to ask how she is?)
So, on this one day, do more than recognize all your System Administrator does for you -- Thank him for all the things he does for you and your business. You may know know his birthday, but you can celebrate how he is always there for you.
Unsure of how to celebrate? Well, as with most celebrations, cake, ice cream and ballons are a great start. If your System Administrator isn't nearby, email ecards and gift certificates. For additional celebration and gift ideas, check out the official website.
