But that being said, I've never known anyone to turn down a Think Geek gift card. "Most of the really good sysadmins, the long term people with more than a decade in the business, the knowledge that our machines run well is a reward unto itself. In too many companies, we're treated like plumbers - unnoticed until something goes wrong, then unappreciated when we fix whatever was broken," Simmons said. "But really, those things are all just tangible representations of a kind of recognition.
I vores showrooms i Øst- og Midtjylland samt hovedstadsområdet finder du brugte biler fra de mest populære bilproducenter så som Toyota. Some of his suggestions include gift certificates to Think Geek, books on a topic not directly related to work, or a conference pass to something they normally don't get to go to (like LISA or even DefCon). Uanset om det er en stationcar, hatchback eller SUV du er på udkig efter, vil du helt sikkert kunne finde din fremtidige drømmebil til den helt rette pris blandt vores omfattende udvalg af brugte biler. Simmons of Standalone Sysadmin first heard about SysAdmin Appreciation Day in 2009, and has been organizing events every year since then. "Just so long as it doesn't send any message but 'thank you," he said. Bob's other ideas included to be taken somewhere cool for lunch, or a gift card, or the afternoon off. "Something that costs $25 or less that says thank you and is useful," said Bob Plankers of the Lone Sysadmin. If you are on Twitter, you should also check out the #SysAdminDay hashtag, which is kind of fun. Details are kind of complicated so click on the link to check 'em out. Cyber Ark’s SysAdmin Appreciation Day Contest: This is a Twitter-based contest where Sys Admins are asked to answer the question, "What is your greatest enterprise IT accomplishment in the past year" to win a Kindle.If you win, prizes include an iPad, and a red Swingline stapler (cool!). Think Geek's 2001 SysAdmin Pageant: Colleagues must nominate you by Thursday, July 28, and the incentive for them is a chance to win a $500 shopping spree.How about sending them an Outlook calendar reminder, or a Facebook invite? You might even ask a boss or colleague to enter you into a contest to show their appreciation! Our friend Matt Simmons of the Standalone Sysadmin wrote a great post about some of the cool contests that your colleagues can enter you in, or that you can enter yourself. It's time to remind your boss about the great work you do. Well, that's why Sys Admin Day was created. The 12th SysAdmin Day, is next Friday - July 29! on a weekend, or when the fish have been biting for the first time that day and you're 2 miles from land?!? And doesn't it feel like this always happens at 2 a.m. Yet that doesn't stop folks from blaming us the rare times that an issue with a network or a server does go down. Me and some of our product managers, sales engineers, and other folks here at SolarWinds used to be Sys Admins, and lets face it - as IT guys, most of us don't get the positive feedback we deserve for all of the things we do to prevent problems from happening. Like Rodney Dangerfield would say, some System Admins feel that they "don't get no respect!"
