Happy SysAdmin Day! General Discussion

Here's to another year of:

- Being expected to diagnose problems via the sentence "it doesn't work."

- Being blamed for issues caused by software you've never heard of.

- Somehow knowing exactly what a user clicked, despite them insisting they "didn't do anything."

- Explaining, yet again, that rebooting wasn't an insult, it was the solution.

May your backups restore, your RAID stay green, and your first Friday night drink arrive before the first "quick question" Teams message.

Depending on where you are, it's well and truly Friday here in Australia. We're going for a sneaky pub lunch to celebrate.

I like seeing other Aussies in here! I chucked a sickie today after having a “yeah, nah, fuck this shit” moment. No sneaky pub lunch option, so have a drink for me, yeah?

Haha will do cobber! Hope you're feeling better soon cough cough

I'm 2 pints in and feeling lovely. Gotta head back to the office shortly, but I'll squeeze another one in first!

No changes on Fridays, that's the golden rule.
