A sysadmin is a professional who plans, sets up, takes back up, hacks, fixes, advocates, protects, and maintains functional computer networks, and makes sure to create a healthy atmosphere to work. From unpacking the server to worrying about spam, viruses, spyware, power outages, printers, etc., sysadmin takes care of everything. Don’t you think they need an outstanding appreciation without whom, the rest of the office would go stale. Thank your system admin even if you have received a mail successfully because it is due to one of them working somewhere for you get that email. So celebrate your sysadmin today.
“Some people are a natural administrator. They actually enjoy doing it. I find it a chore. I’m not a details person. I go for the big sweep.” – Peter Hollingworth
History of System Administrator Appreciation Day
System Administrator Appreciation Day was created by a system admin, Ted Kekatos on July 28, 2000. System Administrator Appreciation Day is created as an inspiration from a magazine advertisement of Hewlett-Packard in which his co-workers thanked a system administrator with flowers and fruit baskets for installing several new printers. Kekatos also had installed the same model printers in his workplace. He then created a website to honor the sysadmins, and the site became a hit leading to the birth of the day. Later this holiday was promoted and celebrated by many IT professional organizations all over the world. Celebrate the day by thanking your system admins.
