I had a nightmare about work last night.
When I logged in to check and see what was up apparently we were having some problems.
I don't know which is worse, having a nightmare about work - or checking up on work because I had a nightmare about it. Maybe I should take a vacation. Of course, I have no where to go. no one to visit.
So yesterday (28th) was sysadmin day.

what do we get? 1 forum post and replies (3 were us saying thanks).
I almost created an account on our forums to actually tell one person thank you for remebering that we aren't lifeless zomibies and actually enjoy people giving us thanks.
of course I didn't, but I thought about it. and it's the thought that counts, right?
Interesting how it works though, we spend days and days working probably 3x as much as anyone else, and our appreciation is a day that is hardly known (except to any admin position, hell if you say sysadmin day? 90% of us fucking jump up going OMGOMGOMG!! WE HAVE 1 DAY OF PRAISE!). I guess it's just that we're looking for a little appreciation is all... and all we get is flames from the masses about how we took their server down for 3 minutes! omg! worlds gonna end, I just lost 15 grand!!!!!
sigh
I am the new generation. A confidence shot burned out mind dedicated to the box that enslaved me when I was a child. The digital chains attached to each limb forcing my fingers fix whatever is brought on by the large group of people who want something but feel thee need to maintain that something is less important.
the american way, no, the world's way.
Leave it to the computer to bring the world together. a single street where you can locate anything.
The more I am abused, the more I love my captor.
I am a slave.
