All IT staff (or anyone who works in IT) are, in my opinion, extremely undervalued considering the sheer amount of crap they put up with every day. They work to resolve issues that just shouldn't be possible, have to put up with people not having a clue what they're talking about, and get stereotyped as utter nerds on top of it all, leading to them getting the mickey taken out of them. So yeah, this should be made a national holiday me thinks .

Yeah, I agree with Luke.
The people actually making things work are never noticed; it'd be nice to see this on a calendar.

I understand and appreciate the amount of work that system administrators put forth, but making a national holiday solely for IT's seems a little absurd. There is a holiday that's somewhat relevant to this - Labor Day.

Maybe people should stop sterotyping them and actually pay a little respect for the work they do. The problem is the media, people assume that anyone who works in IT is going to be a complete nerd with bad hair, bad glasses and no dress sense. Not everyone who works in IT looks like Bill Gates.

IT staff often have a hard job, and rarely get recognition for their work. I agree with Luke, people need to stop stereotyping them.

Do I get my respects on July 25th since I've spent a lot of my summer on the phone, e-mailing and going to people's houses fixing up their computers?

Now that's the kind of job I want to get.
I just need to bring my computer and Google the problem and fix it within 10 minutes, charge $50 and leave.

I seriously do believe days like this are neccessary, how many posts in free hosting are about problems, all of them. How many people ever just say thankyou. None

You deserve days like this guys

[TechAsh]

How many people ever just say thankyou. None

I'm sure there must be at least one person who's said thanks. lol
