In most every cubicle-monkey's life, there is a person or team of people who do the jobs no one else even dares to even try to understand. They are our alpha geeks. Our nerd buddies. Our System Administrators. And it is they who truly control your life. It is to them that you must bow down and admit your ignorance every time you do something stupid on your computer. You are right to fear them, for they can destroy every file on your computer, just by leaving it alone with you for the long weekend. They are the dark lords of the I.T. industry. Invincible in their knowledge of the intricacies of NT Networking protocols and cross-platform file recovery methods. Some of them even have girlfriends. They control the information technology industry and they still want more. Friday, July 26th has been designated System Administrator Day by the Dark Kobald that controls everything. You are encouraged to buy them lunches, or install home-theatre systems in their offices. They humiliate you when you forget your pa**word, and now they want an appreciation day? Well I for one say; let's give it to them....it's not like we have a choice.
There's a guy who works in another room
Or, on another floor
He's the one you call
When your document ain't there no more
He's probably a boy, but he might be a girl
Or, something in-between
He's the only one in the building
Who knows what PC load-letter means
He's your System Administrator
He probably reads comic books
And you tremble in fear when you have to hear one of his
"What a dummy", looks
Got a virus, lost your pa**word or you just can't print?
In an hour he'll show and then he'll crouch and squint
Fight to save your files, he might be there all day
But sometimes, he just presses caps lock...and he walks away...
But hey! Suddenly my pa**word works! Hooray!
Hooray, happy Syst. Admin. day
Gonna buy my guy a gift to say
"Having you around means I get to stay
Stupid! And uninformed!"
And I can keep opening .exe e-
