System Administrator Appreciation Day is an annual ICT Holiday created by Ted Kekatos in 2000. It takes place in the last Friday in July, hence today is the 16th SysAdmin Day. So as they put it: Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.

To keep track of ICT Holidays, you can use the International ICT Holidays calendar, a Google calendar maintained by the Computer Engineers Association of Spain (ATI).

    So they have this appreciation day at the end of July, when everyone is on vacation?

    Dunno how others do it, but I take this "vacation time" as the ideal time to make changes to the infrastructure. For my little part-time gig, I rarely put in as many hours as during the two weeks that the company is official closed for summer vacation.

      Yes, but I meant no one else in the company is going to be around to give you attaboys on system admin day, or even know it is a real thing. You think they'd schedule it for after Labor Day or something so someone would actually be around that day to appreciate sys admins.
