[ale] System Administrator Day

[Lightner, Jeff]

The only problem with that idea is most l'users open tickets like that
when one screen in one application they're using has a perceived
slowness issue.  Back when I did phone support I'd often get tickets
saying "the entire system is down" which usually actually meant
something like "My PC isn't powered on", "I don't remember how to login
after the weekend" or "Why do you call it a keyboard when there's no
lumber involved?"

Everyone who isn't a system administrator should do the following:
1. open up your office ticketing tool
2. file a ticket with the highest priority that reads "THE SERVERS IS
DOWN"
3. when a disgruntled person calls asking what servers you're talking
about, say "Happy Sysadmin Day!"
