10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day

Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day. If you are reading this news post from work or school, go hug your System Administrator, he’s the one that makes it possible for you to get on the net every day.

The last Friday in every July marks System Administrator Appreciation Day. In its 10th year, the annual day of recognition was created in 2000 by Systems Administrator Ted Kekatos, who was working as an IT manager for a small start-up at the time and thought it might be nice for him and his colleagues to get a bit of recognition. According to the holiday's Web site, sysadmins have been work hard in a mostly thankless job most days.
