[H]ardNews 8th Edition

Happy System Administrator Day:

If you are a system administrator and you are working today, you need to walk up to your boss right now and tell him/her you are leaving early today because it is System Administrator Day! If they act surprised or worse, have never heard of it, make sure you let your boss know how truly and deeply hurt you are….then go home and enjoy the rest of the day. If you get fired for following my advice, don’t worry…National Unemployment Day is tomorrow (I made that up). Blame Xathros for the reminder.

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.
