The 10th annual System Administrator appreciation day is today; you can celebrate at www.sysadminday.com
Most of you will know what a sysadmin does; the range of challenging and thankless tasks they undertake… But many of you will be wondering – sysadwhat?!
It’s not just users who should show their appreciation of sysadmins, it’s their IT colleagues too. For starters, we could all make them more effective, more appreciated and more rewarded by reducing the amount of onerous, outmoded practices thay we unecessarily subject them to; instead liberating their time to have a better crack at a working day that isn’t 100% spent fire-fighting and rushing their way through repetitive processes.
Sysadmins everywhere – Automated IT salutes you!

Under-valued, un-loved and un-noticed – just like Sysadmin Appreciation Day.

Why is it that the day after the IT wizz has been on the server everything seems to grind to a halt? However, that aside, we should try to keep in mind all the good things they do to keep us working, remember…….the IT sysadmin is not just there when your system goes down! After all, even ‘mushrooms’ need some love and attention.

Yeah, it’d be great to feel more appriciated in the work we do and i’m sure other Sys Ads would agree. However, i’m not sure this special recognitions day would help – I mean would the Board or other depatemnt managers even know what or when it is? Surely, the only way for us to feel appriciated is for us to actually sell back what we’re doing in the organisations we work for. We need to show our fellow colleagues what we’re needed for!
