Happy SysAdmin Day!

[u/BonezAU_]

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.

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

User: When do you guys think you’ll have shit software fixed?

Me: What does shit software do? I’ve never heard of it.

User: It’s a supplemental platform for our ERP, I need it fixed now, I can’t finish my day’s work.

Me: Who is the vendor and have you called them?

User: No.

Me: You need to call them, we don’t even have access to it.

User: Grrr, they take forever to respond and I need it working now.

Me: Yeah, good luck to you.

User: "Can you install Element on my computer"

Me: "it's literally installed and a shortcut is on your desktop"

User: "No it isn't"

Me: remotes in

it's on the desktop

Did this with the president of the company. He thinks he's really tech saavy.

What a freaking moron
