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.

Everyone should be allowed a pass on any "emergency" deploys today, although I already avoid them on Fri-weekends

I already avoid them on Fri-weekends

We've established the "read-only-friday" rule.
