System administrators often go unappreciated and unrecognized – toil away diligently squashing bugs and firefighting tech issues all while maintaining robust networks and systems. So it’s no surprise that when System Administrator Day (also known as Sysadmin Day) rolled around in mid-July there was an undeniable surge of excitement in the tech community!
But what should we do in recognition of the unsung heroes in our lives? Well for those looking for the perfect way to honor their system administrators the Spiceworks community has plenty of ideas.
Many celebrated Sysadmin Day with a virtual gifts ranging from boxed sets of super sugary snacks to occasional humorous t-shirts stickers and message cards. Some companies stunned their employees with a day of unlimited coffee ice cream doughnuts pizza pop-rocks and other quirky treats! And of course let’s not forget the more traditional ways to show appreciation including a heartfelt thank-you card and a lovely bouquet of flowers.
The best system administrator gifts often come with a personal touch. Some Spiceworks members went a bit further and threw online (or even in-person) parties engaging tech colleagues in a mix of face-to-face conversations topic-specific roundtables games and quizzes! How cool is this?
At the end of the day Sysadmin Day is all about giving due recognition respect and appreciation to the unsung heroes who keep our networks and systems up and running. Even if you can’t thank your system administrator in person or with a fancy gift there are still plenty of ways – from emails social media shout-outs to follow-up calls – to show your gratitude!
Ah Spiceworks SysAdmin Day- the one day of the year dear to the hearts of techies around the globe. While some may be tempted to bury themselves in hardware and software research and implementation we’re here to remind you that sysadmin day should be a celebration as well!
Here are a few ideas to make sure your sysadmin day gets off on the right foot:
– Wish your fellow IT professionals happy sysadmin day! It’s always nice to lift each other’s spirits with a few warm words.
– Kickstart sysadmin day with a ‘tech-fast’. Take the first few hours of the day off of technology completely. Pick up a book take a walk or simply relax. Your wake-up techwork will be much easier after.
– Break away from the computer and make room for some creative expression. Get out the karaoke machine and belt some show tunes or start a game of mini-golf on your office floor- you get the gist.
– Break the mold from the typical monday mornings and make an effort to do something to make the day more enjoyable for the staff. Treat everyone to breakfast or plan a game around the office for your coworkers to enjoy.
– If all else fails treat yourself to that item you’ve been eyeing in the tech store. Sysadmin day should also be about rewarding yourself for all your hard work afterall.
Remember it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the job. Take a break and make sure to enjoy yourself- the daily grind will wait!
