    You are a sysadmin - whether you like it or not :flan_XD: It is not a sacrilegious title at all. Whereas I am a "professional sysadmin" (in the sense that I get paid for it at $dayjob) - I like cute shirts like this Cosplaying as a Sysadmin one.

    Advice from a Dutchie, if someone looks at your apparel or makes a remark, say "heb ik iets van je aan ofzo?"

    Quite literally translated: "am I wearing something that is yours" - it is often said as a joke and remark that they should mind their own business.

    @h3artbl33d @elena back in the mid 90s, not long after trainspotting came out, i was working as a sysadmin of a very large isp, and a bunch of us got "choose sysadmin" shirts as a riff on the "choose life" bit of that movie.

    anyway, i was out at an atm getting some cash, when a middle-aged woman saw the shirt and approached me to offer me a job.

    i was obviously looking pretty taken aback, because she followed that up with a quizzical look and said, "what? haven't you ever been approached before?"

    no, no i hadn't. and not since, for that matter (not for a job anyway), but this has always stuck with me.

    there's no moral here, it was just weird and i wanted to share.
