I used to manage a group of system administrators for an academic department at a major East-coast University. We used to say that "The best sysadmin is the one whose phone number you don't know." The intention being that a good sysadmin will anticipate the problems and fix them before you, the user, even realize the problem is a possibility. You never have to look up their phone number because you don't see any problems. Being that good is hard work! You have to keep up-to-the-minute-and-beyond on every aspect of anything that might affect your users. Attend technical conferences; participate actively in you local professional society chapters; be alert and at your best when you get a trouble call at three in the morning, and so on...
Does that help?
