As some of you may know, this Friday is that most wonderful of holidays...
System Administrator Appreciation Day
http://www.sysadminday.com/ (somewhat sucky web page)
Now, I can almost guarantee that none of the people I support at work will come up to me and say 'thanks', never mind hand me a gift. This is mainly because I won't be at work.
In tried and true tradition, I'm going to heal my battered ego by organising something of a gathering.
WHO: Anyone who is "an individual responsible for maintaining a multi-user computer system, including a local-area network (LAN), wide-area network (WAN), Telephone system, or voice-mail system." (You might be in support, management or engineering - or somewhere else!)
WHERE: Steve's, Nedlands (the bar facing the river). Plenty of parking out the front.
WHEN: 7:30 PM onward.
BRING: Yourself, companion if you wish, any impressive gifts you were given by your lusers.
Why Steve's? Well, there's a couple of reasons, but the main one is it's pretty quiet on a Friday. You'll have to come down to find out the others!
Please feel free to forward this on to others - more == merrier!
