SysAdmin Day poems

May servers never crash or freeze,
May ping stay low and uptime high,
May every patch install with ease
And weekends never pass you by!

You guard the network, calm and quiet,
Without you nothing works at all;
May every day be free of riot
And every light stay green for all!

Gift ideas for a sysadmin

Sysadmins love useful gadgets: a power bank, a mechanical keyboard, good headphones, a multitool or an external drive. A basket of fruit and snacks is perfect for night shifts, and a bouquet on the server-room desk is an unexpected but welcome thank-you from the team.
