Comfortable Disappearance

This Friday, July 28, 2006 is again Systems Administrators Day!

Be sure to visit this site for all of the information pertaining to such a wonderful day.

Also, make sure that you don’t miss these helpful tips on how to make the best use of your own System Administrator’s time. (Beware, we are being dreadfully sarcastic, and none of these tips are true). Some of my favorite tips (note “Ted” refers to a “system administrator”):

Never write down error messages. Just click OK, or restart your computer. Ted likes to guess what the error message was.

Feel perfectly free to say things like “I don’t know nothing about that boneheaded computer crap.” It never bothers Ted to hear his area of professional expertise referred to as boneheaded crap.

When Ted’s eating lunch at his desk or in the lunchroom, walk right in, grab a few of his fries, then spill your guts and expect him to respond immediately. Ted lives to serve, and he’s always ready to think about fixing computers, especially yours.

Don’t use online help. Online help is for wimps.

This last one, for those of you who don’t know, is how us computer folk survive. The internet is wealth of imformation. For example, I learned today how to use this in linux today:
apt-get install %packagename%
All thanks to the internet!

The rest of these have all personal happened to me. Yes, they’re ridiculous, but people do that kind of crap. It’s pretty amazing when you think about it.

Anyway, I’m going to make sure that my Friday is great (yeah…right).
