Congratulations on the day of the system administrator!
As Wikipedia suggests , 13 years ago, sociable American sysadmin Ted Kekatos decided that admins should have their own day to leave the server room, go to nature / to the bar / (any other preferred offline) and how should be celebrated with “brothers in arms ".
For the first time, the day of the system administrator was celebrated on July 28, 2000, and since then every year on the last Friday of July more and more system administrators around the world began to come to work with combed beards and in their favorite knitted sweaters in anticipation of congratulations. And at the end of the working day, the user, out of habit, who came for help and technical support, could face the fact that the office is closed ...

... and only the plush pet mascot remained on duty.
On behalf of our entire admin team Mail.Ru Group, I want to congratulate you, dear habravchane, on our common professional holiday! However, a system administrator is not only a profession, but also a vocation ...
Our profession, which appeared relatively recently, is still rather vaguely defined. In its own way, almost everyone understands it, starting from grandmothers (for whom we are simply “computer scientists”, as, indeed, the sales manager - he also works at the computer), inviting to fix the TV with the missing Petrosyan, ending with top managers, Those who call can figure out how to register their Apple ID on their iPad.
For commercial structures, most of which do not use this classifier, this, of course, does not play a special role, but what should state employees who are obliged to use the classifier do, and at the same time can perform the functions of all the above professions? And if you sometimes have to configure IP telephony? "Engineer of linear communication facilities and subscriber devices" (code OZK 2144).
System administrator in many organizations is a very broad profession.
Underground work - an integral part of the work of the administrator in technical support
Bulk IP telephony
Systemic logical thinking is a very difficult cognitive skill that has been developing for years: every day, with every update of Winda (and firewood flying in different directions), with every new Linux kernel, with every new employee who imagines himself as a cooler and changed his IP address ...
Only a system administrator who is accustomed to thinking outside the box and isolating regularities invisible to mere mortals from this chaos can understand why the server is not responding, does not ping 1C in a remote warehouse, or that an unknown virus encrypts files with an annual financial report.
Sometimes it’s akin to shamanism.
But in reality, this is a product of system administrators' deductive thinking, and the solution of the next ticket in the helpdesk is similar to the disclosure of a crime by Sherlock Holmes.
Sometimes completing quests is like a challenging quest. For example, here is one of the tickets in our helpdesk:
System administrators are not born, this is daily cognitive work and endless pumping of skills.
So, what would you like to wish on this (and further) days?
First, of course, proper nutrition:
Yes, this is a cake!
... a good and stable "iron":
Switching in our new office
... smaller "blue screens":
(but generally we don’t have anything against blue!)
Especially when blue is a way of saying “Go to Jira!”
... more new interesting gadgets:
Cardboard workplace - colleagues made a surprise to leave the holiday
Detailing: a cardboard notebook with a cardboard Win 8
... and even a cardboard phone!
... and professional recognition in all your guises!
Happy holiday!
PS: to relieve emotional tension, we recommend you to get a cute kitten in the sysadmin. However, another fluffy beast will also fit:

Interesting fact 1. In the USA, this day sounds like “Thanksgiving Day to the System Administrator (System Administrator Appreciation Day)”. On the one hand, it would be desirable that he was also called here, carrying a very correct and specific call in his title right now: “Thank the administrators for the fact that everything works!”. But on the other hand, it is impossible to give users a reason to think that on other days it is possible and not to thank for the work done ...

Interesting fact 2 : In the "all-Russian classifier of occupations of workers, positions of employees and tariff categories" (reference) the profession of "system administrator" does not exist. Instead, there is a set of such professions:
- "Administrator of the computer network" (Code on OKZ 2131)
- "Database Administrator" (Code OZK 2139)
- "Administrator of information security of a computer network" (Code on OZK 2139)
- "Engineer - system programmer" (Code on OKZ 2132)
For commercial structures, most of which do not use this classifier, this, of course, does not play a special role, but what should state employees who are obliged to use the classifier do, and at the same time can perform the functions of all the above professions? And if you sometimes have to configure IP telephony? "Engineer of linear communication facilities and subscriber devices" (code OZK 2144).
