Sysadmin Day (Sync)

Sysadmin Day

Friday July 27th is Sysadmin Day.

Actual things I've heard said to a sysadmin....(yes, for real):

So my printer hums when it's printing. You need to get me a new one.
You need to get over this whole password thing.
Since you don't do anything important around here, how about faxing this for me?
Awesome Star Trek actions figures...I bought this new computer for my wife, I need you to ...
Don't worry, I wrote my password on a piece of paper and put it under my keyboard.
My old school mate sent me an e-greeting and now my computer is doing weird stuff.
I don't know what happened, all my files are gone and I have a presentation in 5 minutes.
Nothing, not a thing; I didn't install anything or make any changes.
