Gifts for Clients - Calendars for Sysadmins
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.
Regular calendars show you inspirational quotes about believing in yourself. Our calendars show you the truth: that every day is another opportunity to question your life choices. A daily tear-off page of dark humor gives you something to look forward to each morning besides coffee. It's like a daily affirmation, but honest.
