happy sysadmin day!

I think that it’s an excellent idea to unilaterally declare that a day is a special day.  Some sysadmin somewhere in the world apparently agrees with this, and thus today is Sysadmin Day.

Based on some of the sysadmins that I know, I think that today will be spent randomly unplugging network cables and drinking heavily1.  Also, don’t forget to turn it off and on again.

 

(That’s from The IT Crowd, which I highly recommend. The first season DVDs have geek subtitles (l33t, rot13, Klingon, etc) which are extremely well-done.)

  1. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader as to how, or if, this is different than any other given day of the week.
