9th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day July 25th, 2008 (Last Friday Of July)

System Administrator Appreciation Day, also known as Sysadmin Day, SysAdminDay or SAAD, was created by Ted Kekatos, a system administrator in Chicago. Kekatos was inspired to create the special day by a Hewlett-Packard magazine advertisement in which a system administrator is presented with flowers and fruit-baskets by grateful co-workers as thanks for installing new printers.[1] The holiday exists to show appreciation for the work of sysadmins and other IT workers. It is celebrated on the last Friday in July. The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000. The next holiday is Friday, July 31, 2009.

This Is a song I wrote about some very special people who make sure your computer works. They’re called “System Administrators”, and they’re very important.

(playing guitar)

There’s a guy who works in another room, or on another floor,

He’s the one you call, when your document ain’t there no more

he’s probably a boy, but he might be a girl, or something in between

he’s the only one in the office who knows what “PC Load Letter” means

He’s your system administrator

he’s probably into comic books

and you tremble in fear when you have to hear

one of his “what a dummy” looks

got a virus, lost your password, or you just can’t print

in an hour he’ll show up and then he’ll crouch and squint,

he’ll fight to save your files, he might be there all day

but sometimes he just presses “caps lock” and then walks away

but hey! Suddenly my password works! Hoooray!

Hooray hooray,

happy sys admin day

I’m gonna buy my guy a gift to say

“Having you around means I get to stay…

stupid, and uninformed…

and I can keep opening dot e x e email attachments

and forgetting my mother’s maiden name

and I can keep naming files with spaces and ampersands and colons

cause you’ll fix it all for me!

Ohhhhh!

I’ll give you a cake

I’ll give you a hug

I’ll buy the “world’s best system administrator” mug

just help me out,

system administrator

delete my “recently viewed websites” file

System administrator

restore my network settings so I can find my F: drive

system administrator

Uh… plug in my mouse

system administrator

piss him off and you’ll be fired by tomorrow morn

‘cause he’s the guy who knows that you were surfing porn

So don’t forget to be nice to your

system administratooooooooooooor
