Friday, July 29th, 2005, is the 6th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. "Let's face it," the website reads, "System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work."

Or the folks staffing the operations centers of the world 24x7? Or the folks maintaining the critical software using those networks?
Not all of those people are "sysadmins" in the classic Unix sense, but they all provide similar services.
Heck, I'd even have appreciated an Application Progammer's Day when I was providing 24x7 support for a major airline's core flight ops system.
Sysadmins are valuable, but they're actually a fairly small subset of the folks who keep the connected world humming...

Respectfully -- if you had read the page the article was referring to – you would have found that:
This appreciation day includes many system administrators:
Computer Administrators
Network Administrators
Internet Administrators (webmaster)
Telephone (PBX) Administrators
Voice-Mail Administrators
Database Administrators (DBA)
Email System Administrators
Mainframe Systems Programmers ("sysprogs")
NetAdmins aren't left out -- no worries!
I thought one of the images in the pictures was especially amusing:

Imagine getting that call at 2am!

sys admins are lazy people, should be happy that they can operate everything from a lazy chair!! they dont deserve respect, not any!! its their job to be lazy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------
List up, troll. Lazy? Sitting in a chair?? Let see you pull several bundles of cat 5/e/6, fiber hunderds of meters through:
1) Raised floors
2) Riser ducts
How about racking and stacking hundreds of boxen in a new colo?
What about gettting up out of bed at 2 am for the so called emergency phone call because, someone decides to work late and can not access whatever, when previous an email goes out stating that service won't be available??? But its for the VP?? Get out of bed and take care of business.
Lazy my arse!!
