I think it was System Administrator Appreciation Day three years ago when I lost my job. :( But were I working, I'd be planning on attending local geek beer at a minimum, which I may do anyway. :) It's the last Friday in July: this year, that's 31 July 2009, or 2 weeks from tomorrow. Go hug your sysadmin, if they'll let you, :) and buy them a beer or a new car or something. Or go point them at the official web site — if they don't know about it, they'll probably be appreciative. :)
