How to Celebrate Systems Engineer Day
If you yourself are a systems engineer, today is your day, so make the most of it: maybe it's high time you took a day off and looked at a real landscape instead of the Windows desktop ones. Relax your eyes, enjoy the fresh air, have a picnic! Or if you fancy a more social situation, why not get together with your other systems engineer buddies and just have some beers, hang out and laugh at jokes only you understand?
If, on the other hand, you're not a systems engineer, this is your chance to show the systems engineers in your life some appreciation. The folks at www.systemsengineerday.com have plenty of suggestions about how you can do this.
invite them for a few drinks on the house after work
let them take an early afternoon off or late morning in
bring in some morning/afternoon treats like donuts or a few cans of their favourite soda
alternately, bring in some nice bottles of wine or a couple of cases of their favourite beer to take home
get them tickets to an upcoming movie
order a big cake for the entire team to share
put out a company notice/intranet post acknowledging the work they do
remember that even a simple pat on the back, high five and just saying thank you can go a long way!
So don't let another year go by without saying thank you to the people who help make our world a better place every single day and celebrate their achievements!
