Happy SysAdmin Appreciation Day!

[SteveTheGeek]

Last Friday of July, here we are. The gory details are here:

http://www.sysadminday.com/

and be patient, the site is experiencing a traffic spike today, as you can well imagine.

It'd seem to me that this would be a great way to motivate technical staff. Then again, I'm not sure how much Secretary's Day does for administrative personnel...

Such a thankless job.

Conversation from 10 minutes ago:

User: How often do you guys backup my computer.

ME: We don't, thats your responsibility.
We don't have the server capability yet.
If you've got important stuff keep it on the server,
and it will get backed up.

User: I thought you backup every night.

ME: We do. We backup everything on the servers every night.

User: Why don't you backup up my laptop every night?

ME: Don't you take your laptop home every night.

User: Yes.

ME: Then how would we back it up at night.

User: You can't back it up from home. You have my Login ID

ME: No, we can't do that.

User: Why?

ME: Because we can't.

User: Seems like you should be able to.
I'm going to talk to Bill about this.

ME: Please do.
