I'd just like to point out that today (the last Friday in July) is system administrator appreciation day. So, today, be extra nice to the sysadmin in your life.

Wish you people would think in advance for all those not 17 hours ahead. [Wink]

Thanks for the heads up. [Smile]

I'll make sure I show the sysadmin in my life just how much I appreciate him. [Kiss]

Seriously. You guys have one of the hardest jobs out there, as far as I'm concerned. I did it for years and wouldn't go back if I could possibly help it. On the one side, you have your internal clients who think you're their personal miracle-working slave, and on the other side you have management who probably only views you as a sinkhole of cost to the company bottomline, a belief that is reflected in your budget, which often is closer to zero than an actual realistic number.

*toasts sysadmins the world over*

I thought sysadmins appreciated themselves so much no one else needed to.

Thank you Jeni! =)

Storm: Oh you know us so well.

Hmmmm....

Sounds like a marketing scheme that Starbucks and Krispy Kreme doughnuts came up with to boost sales for a day. ::eyes Capitalists suspiciously::

I mean, what other way is there to warm a sysadmin's heart? [Smile]
