July 30 — System Administrator Day — is fast approaching. If you are a SysAdmin and you want to guarantee you’ll receive some kudos from your boss on Friday, make sure to sign up for our Boss Reminder Service. You only have one more day — tomorrow we’re sending out the reminders first thing in the morning, to give your boss plenty of time to buy you a thank you note, Starbucks gift card, or new server rack.
As a reminder, here’s what the note your manager gets will look like:

Hi! Love the SysAdmin Day idea. I have a suggestion about your reminder service, to implement for next year. Offer an option to leave out the line about caffeine. Many sysadmins like caffeine, but some of us don’t. I don’t use anything with caffeine in it (and I don’t care for ‘decaf’ versions of normally-caffeinated beverages, either), so that message wouldn’t work for people like me.
