The technology underdog – the sysadmin

Marc Farley made a contribution that I think should be included in the pledge for Sysadmin appreciation day!

The sysadmin who gets to:

Wear the beeper 24 x 7? The sysadmin.

Have almost every thought interrupted? The sysadmin.

Mind the gap between hype and reality? The sysadmin.

Watch over the "minor details"? The sysadmin

Listen to hold music while a blowtorch singes the body part that gets copied? The sysadmin

Have purchase recommendations be ignored political decree? The sysadmin.

Face the wrath when somebody else's bad idea breaks? The sysadmin.

Stay at work while the bosses go out for a round of mucky muck? The sysadmin.

Have everybody else tell them what they really ought to be doing? The sysadmin.
