Gifts for Clients - Tote Bags 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.
Your commute bag is a daily statement piece whether you like it or not. Instead of a boring black laptop bag or a free tote from a conference, why not carry something that makes people on the train do a double-take? These bags hold everything you need while broadcasting exactly how you feel about Monday mornings.
