The Sysadmin Paradox

THE SYSADMIN PARADOX №61 MONITOR WON'T TURN ON! BLUE SCREEN! SLOW STARTUP! SERVER DOWN! PC WON'T BOOT! CRASH! PRINTER'S BROKEN! HIGH PING! LAGGY MOUSE! LOST PASSWORD! PHONE EXPLODED! NOTHING'S EVER WORKING RIGHT! WHAT THE HECK AM I PAYING A SYSADMIN FOR!? TYPE TYPE CLICK TYPE TYPE CLICK TYPE TYPE CLICK TYPE TYPE CLICK TYPE TYPE CLICK EVERYTHING'S ALWAYS WORKING FINE! WHAT THE HECK AM I PAYING A SYSADMIN FOR!?

A sysadmin watches an office erupt into computer problems while everyone is panicking. In the next scene, the office is calm and employees are simply typing and clicking, yet the sysadmin still complains about paying for a sysadmin. The joke is the contradictory nature of IT support: when systems fail, the sysadmin is blamed, but when everything works, people wonder why the sysadmin is needed.
