Tomorrow is Sysadmin Day. Get your admin something nice, or at least a little drunk.

Bastard Operator's Favorite Holiday? I'm calling in sick. If you really wanted to be of service to the public, you'd tell us when "Take your manager's daughter across state lines" Day is.

I'm the sysadmin, I was probably going to get myself drunk anyway. I think instead I'll just refuse to help these greasyfingered mouthbreathing liberal arts types figure out how to do simple tasks on a computer that a lobotomized gibbon in an ether fugue would have been to figure out by now, possibly by bashing it's engorged and distended ass on the keyboard, pretty much like every day.

I am a liberal arts type in fact and I wish that at this point I could stop doing the it's/its thing, It's anathma to me.

I don't have a sysadmin unless you count me for going and kicking my wireless router every couple of days to keep it up and running.

So can I get myself drunk?

What I need to know is when "Sneak into your old work and take a big steaming dump on your ex-boss's desk" Day?

That's on September 4th, fenriq.

Yeah, I spend enough money on booze. I'm not sure I can afford another little drunk.

posted by Triode 27 July | 11:59

I think you can probably just hire a little drunk for the day, to keep costs down.

I'm not a sysadmin, but my hair is starting to look like Richard Ayoade's in The IT Crowd. Should be good for a long lunch.

The mister is a sysadmin. I shall ply him with the booze!

Goddam, cmonkey, now they're outsourcing the alcoholics? Sometimes I hate my career.
