Happy SAD.

That’s “Sysadmin Appreciation Day.”
If you happen to be a regular reader of Network Performance Daily that also doesn’t happen to read at least one of the following: Slashdot, Digg, Network World, HardOCP, and numerous other publications, you’ll be glad to learn that today is Sysadmin Appreciation Day.
Similar to Secretaries Day, SAD is a day, celebrated on the last Friday in June, when we remember the gifts of the people in the basement IT rooms, consigned to live a life away from the sun, who keep everything running but are almost never seen unless something goes wrong.
Sorta like shoe-maker’s gnomes, only with routers.
