Happy sys admin

Today is a doubly pleasant day: first, today is Friday. Secondly, today is the last Friday of July, which means today is the day of the system administrator. Therefore, please accept our warm congratulations, gentlemen, comrades and friends, workers of a tambourine and a twisted pair! Let your servers fall as little as possible, and users come across intelligent, flexible and unobtrusive.

In ancient times, sysadmins were unaccustomed, bearded, wildish. And, in general, it was not clear what they were doing. Well, yes, the wires pulled, computers set up, conjured. And then hid in the server. And the people were afraid of them, laughed and did not understand at all.

Years passed, the population got used to computers, the Internet, overgrown with smartphones and tablets. Problems and concerns of system administrators have become much clearer and closer to the masses of users. But, as they say, there were spoons, but the sediment remained. Along with programmers , the profession of a system administrator has acquired, perhaps, the greatest number of myths and prejudices in the field of IT. Some of them are really not unfounded, some have long been outdated. Although, in fairness, if you try, you can find relevant IT-mythology. A sort of real experienced system administrators, they no longer do such a thing, yes, there were people in our time. Actually, what are we - all about the same, about myths. After consulting with each other and with our sysadmins, we made a list of the most popular patterns by which people judge this profession:
')
1. System administrators are constantly very busy.

2. All sysadmins are unkempt, bearded, walk in shapeless sweaters and worn jeans.



3. A sysadmin should be able to do EVERYTHING: build a network, maintain a website, program in any language, repair mobile phones, irons, teapots, cars, clean floors and make coffee.

4. This sysadmin recognizes only Linux, everything else is massed.



5. All sysadmins are lazy, they must be constantly asked and forced to do something.

6. When the admin asks you to enter a password, he simply pretends that he does not know it.

7. System administrators live either in the server rooms, or in the utility rooms littered with all sorts of electronic junk and cables.



8. Any sysadmin can reduce the annual balance in 1C.

9. Telepathy and tambourine - the main tools that help the admin to diagnose and solve problems.



10. 90% of the time, system administrators play a counter-strike and read someone else's mail, only occasionally looking at setting up the printer and installing drivers.

11. The main joy in the life of a sysadmin: beer, boobs and seals.



12. The sysadmin can hack any program, including the Pentagon security system.

13. To solve any problem, simply call the admin with powerful karma, everything will immediately work by itself.



14. A real sysadmin repairs the server with one stroke, if it does not help, then it hits the tambourine.

15. The only person the administrator really fears is the chief accountant.

We do not know about you, but our admins are definitely not like that. We invite everyone to share in the comments funny stories that happened with familiar sysadmins or with you yourself, if you are a sysadmin. Just do not copy-paste!
