When my mother (or somebody else with a not so technical background) asks me what I do for a living I usually tell her that I pat computers on the belly so that they are kept happy.
Thinking the bad thoughts that keep the systems running next week is the picture for those who know something about computers.
I feel this gives a good picture of sys-administration, the best job there is you do things once, the second time you automate it.

And no ponytail, cut that of years ago...
