Mugs for Sysadmins for Men
You keep everything running and only get noticed when something breaks. You're the reason the internet works and nobody understands what you do.
Why This Works
Sysadmin life is invisible when you're succeeding and blamed when anything fails. You're on-call for problems you didn't create. These stickers get the ops life.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.

Things to Consider When Gifting Men
- *Men rarely buy themselves anything fun for their desk
- *They'll pretend they don't want gifts but secretly love them
- *Humor lands better than anything 'nice'
- *Avoid anything that looks like it came from a corporate catalog
- *The more it roasts them, the more they'll appreciate it
