Defining Chaos In Order

And I bet you’ve never heard of SysAdmin Appreciation Day! Here’s why we deserve it:

• We keep your Facebook/Netlog/Twitter running, 24/7
• We’ll make sure you can receive e-mail, 24/7
• We will protect your e-shop, 24/7
• We’ll tweak servers for maximum performance, 24/7
• We’ll protect your other servers with firewalls, 24/7
• We’ll make sure you can call using Voice-over-IP, 24/7
• We’ll make sure you can call, period. (Yes, this runs on actual servers too, not just over the air – 24/7)
• We’ll keep businesses going by providing seemless IT integration, 24/7
• We’ll work on holidays, nightshifts, peak hours, … Heck, we’re even on standby while having sex. 24/7
• We’ll protect your private, sensitive information you so freely enter into webforms, 24/7
• We’ll hack into our own systems, to detect security leapholes before anyone else will, 24/7
• We’ll encrypt your data on e-payment, 24/7
• We’ll work 24hour-straight shifts, surviving on a mere combination of Coffee, M&Ms and Coca Cola, 24/7

Just imagine the power we have. Fear us. Because, all your base are belong to us.
Feel free to add to the list in the comments!

*Edit: it was a good one, with lots of pretty cakes!
