So you want to work in IT?

Consider this fair warning if you’re thinking of working in IT. While I can’t get into the specifics of this situation, suffice it to say that somewhere along the line in your IT career you’ll be in the middle of this situation. It involves a former employee, a security policy breach (among other reasons why he’s a former employee), a challenged unemployment compensation claim, questionable management ethics, interoffice politics run amok, and it ends with a nasty email sent from his wife to my wife giving great detail about how it was only my witch-hunt (with my wife’s help, of course) that got him fired. Like I have that much power! Like there weren’t other documented and undocumented reasons for it to happen! Like I wouldn’t lose my job for not reporting policy violations! Like I care if you think I’m evil incarnate or not! HA!!

OK I’m done ranting for now..

Jason Shellen points us to this little fact; Microsoft Outlook® 2002 discontinues support for Net Folders. You might want to know that before upgrading to Office XP.

    I guess the new addition of the TableEditor turned out to be a double-edged sword last night. Yes, someone did leave a comment that was nothing more than “come visit my blog” with a link, and yes I did delete it. Unfortunately, I also left a comment by Anita that referred to said spam comment,…

    Ever hear one of those really high pitched grinding noises? You know the kind that just screams “Metal rubbing against metal” and makes you want to run as far away as possible so the noise will stop making your brain vibrate? It’s really not good when a printer makes that sound, is it? Of course…
