A New Favorite Humor Site

I cannot believe that I got this link from a somewhat “professional” eNewsletter. Not that it isn’t professional, but it is all about humor and not real support.

For those of you who love cats, you’ll love this one a lot too – because a lot of these wonderful NonProfit Techie humor pictures are based off of images of cats. There are few on this site that I might have captions for, particularly this one, that looks like th cat is about to be placed under arrest. Well, there are few employees that I'd like to do that too (starting with the PG all the way down to the girl-who-is-hyped-up-on-so-many-diet-A.K.A.-speed-pills-she-can't-sign-on-right-every-morning)

Either way, my first idea was “Step Away from the Group Policy Snap-In”. Once I start editing group policy, I have an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other shoulder. The one is saying "be nice, only make them have a four character password" while the devil is saying "Make it be eight characters long, with at least three of the four - a capital letter, a small letter, a number and a symbol. And they have to change their password every 30 days!". Then when changing permissions to the ability to change things, the angel says "Sometimes being unique and giving the ability to change the background and screensave breeds happiness within employees" while the devil screams "Keep everyone the same!" I am almost proud to say this - but I listen to the devil much more often. When it comes to my network, lock it down! So, at times, I feel like I should be arrested for making so many strong changes to the group policy.

Of course, the caption could be something less about me and more about the employees - “Guilty of using password as a password”.

I had my first phone call for tech support this morning at 5:59 am – I wasn’t even downstairs and people were calling the offices going, “I know that you are there, so can you unlock me from having a frozen account, I can’t get into my Outlook”. I haven’t fixed the problem yet. I’m just bitter that people are freaking calling me that early and expecting me to jump for them. The problem is this user keeps coming in earlier and earlier – and it’s just plum ridiculous. They better not call me on Wednesday morning when I am sleeping in for the big event that evening. They better not even think of it!
