Today is a special day in the IT PRO office, and not just because 25 July is IT PRO’s birthday - we are two today.

The big news is that today is International System Administrator Appreciation Day.

Being a SysAdmin is often a thankless task. Everyone complains when things go wrong, but rarely does someone contact the IT department to tell them what a good job they are doing. No wonder so many SysAdmins turn into the b****** operator from hell.

This is the day that all fellow SysAdmins worldwide will be showered with expensive gifts in appreciation of their diligent work. That said, there is a credit crunch on, so at the very least take a moment to go and visit your resident SysAdmin, tell them what a good job they are doing and how they are appreciated by the whole company. Maybe give them an appreciative hug.

OK - maybe not the hug bit.
