Deep silence reigns in the office,
The nerd roots without emotion,
And the user
looks at blue screens all around.

This (slightly modified) poem by Goethe describes a state that every sysadmin can only dream of: Sleep. Because it takes so much time and effort to look after all the little ailments of normal users that every now and then you would like to swap places with the keeper of the proverbial bag of fleas. However, the "sysadmin never sleeps" mug is actually right: a real admin only roots;)

For all those who have only just understood the station: In the Linux operating system, the super user who has all rights is called root. Coincidentally, this word sounds exactly like "he/she/it rests" in German. Yes, we know that jokes that have to be explained are stupid. But exceptions like this prove the rule ;)
