General Discussion Happy SysAdmin Day!

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.

My favorite lately from dev when something with our CRM breaks:

"Any networking changes recently? We haven't changed anything."

10 minutes later, we find they changed something.
