SysAdmin Day is this Friday!  How are you celebrating?

HulkSmash · 2023-07-25T13:04:52.000Z

Working from home as usual. Beer after.

I’ll be working my *** of because around here, IT is about two steps below pond scum and nobody cares. Except us.

andytechacct · 2023-07-25T14:25:20.000Z

I will probably cry, bang my hands on my desk, and scream at the sky “WHY WHYY!” as I ponder my career choices.

The same thing I do every day, Pinky-- Try to take over the world! …working

Taking a half day to see the kiddo perform in her first musical play! Should be exponentially better than working a full Friday. (also there is a Pub across the street which I will be arriving early to “check out”)

mike-eaton · 2023-07-25T17:25:53.000Z

By running three contests here on Spiceworks!!

GeekBrownBear · 2023-07-25T18:29:14.000Z

I’ll be starting an 8 day vacation on SysAdmin Day! Won’t be able to join in the festivities, but I think this is a fair trade

alexanderwarren4766 · 2023-07-25T20:01:31.000Z

I’ll be celebrating my successful MS SQL migration and server 2012 r2 mitigation project being all done…and maybe pizza.

miketheadmin · 2023-07-25T23:20:25.000Z

My day will be like any other where nobody notices or appreciates IT professionals at all. IT only becomes important when something does not work, and as professionals, it is our job to keep it that way!

titusovermyer · 2023-07-26T13:45:47.000Z

I work 4-10’s, so i have Fridays off. I will be doing nothing of note. It will be glorious.

richfrueh · 2023-07-26T14:59:25.000Z

Food, and a thank you video from leadership.

weskullhem · 2023-07-26T15:15:15.000Z

Taking the day off.

Actually I don’t work on Fridays anymore.

Hopefully I’ll get time to play Firmament .

aaronlarson6 · 2023-07-26T15:35:04.000Z

Since I am NOT the sysadmin I’ll celebrate our hardworking admin.

pturzy · 2023-07-26T17:48:54.000Z

Going to see a Bob Seger tribute band. Yeeeaaahhhh BOY!

pranjalyagnik · 2023-07-27T06:53:26.000Z

Same day. Same stuff. Routine.

chrisasmith · 2023-07-27T10:38:23.000Z

CooperJS1:

Beer

Yeah, maybe I’ll put up a “Sysadmin Day” banner in my house and that will stop my wife from nagging me about drinking beer. ; )

tylerstewart2 · 2023-07-27T11:22:29.000Z

Scotch, lots of scotch.

chrisf7 · 2023-07-27T15:36:48.000Z

Never any acknowledgement from my company.
