Comrades, friends, colleagues!
On this incredibly beautiful day - the last Friday of July - the IT industry is hanging by a thread!
Accountants are looking for their desktops and disappear in 20 1C open windows, secretaries cry hysterically trying to open solitaire and lose unequal struggle in trying to take away a clip from the printer, programmers cannot find a server, marketers are looking for a password hanging in front of them on a large white a sheet of A4 paper, written in Arial 40px, and the director cannot send mail to Chelyabinsk, Sadovaya st., 21.

What caused the global man-made disaster, you ask? (I personally think that Cthulhu is to blame, or at the very least fighting robots from the Russian border).
But I am told here that everything is both simpler and much more complicated. Friends, I will not be afraid of this word, even colleagues! On this day, we, System Administrators, as we call ourselves, and as no personnel department calls us, celebrate our professional holiday.
Who are the System Administrators? This question has no definite answer. These are virtuosos snap, arachnids coax and twisted pair, stitchers FreeBSD and Unix and 911 for all users.
We, and only we, are allowed what it is not allowed to anyone - to wander the corridors of the office from Monday morning in jeans, a mint T-shirt, slippers and a bottle of beer in their hands.
For the first time, the Day of the System Administrator was celebrated in 2000, on the last Friday of July. The founder of the ACD is Ted Kekatos, who with a group of enthusiasts sent out a huge amount of e-mail greetings to system administrators around the world. The idea sysadmin liking - their hard work was recognized and appreciated.
What would you like to wish us loved on this certainly beautiful day?
Let smart users carry us presents on this day, the directors urgently issue bonuses, the beer in the server chills will be cooled ahead of time, and we will hammer on everything and enjoy attention and care.
We wish you big wages, smart and straight-handed users, intelligent bosses, buggy software, fast channels and direct pipelines from breweries directly to the workplace!
Happy holiday, SysAdmins!
