Not really hilarious, more like so sad that I am laughing.

We tried to use GoTo Meeting on Friday but the app is no longer supported because our operating system is too old. But there is a work around - you can use the web based version on Google Chrome....but we don't have Google Chrome on the conference room computer.  :facepalm:

It would take about 10 seconds to put google chrome on the conference room computer.

I would not be surprised if an IT department still clinging to Windows XP does not grant its users admin rights to the conference room computer.

I was in a big conference room meeting today. They needed help logging into the remote desktop thing. I knew how to do it, but I didn't say a word. Just sat there for ten minutes while they figured it out.

IT has received some concerns about emails saying “Potential Virus”.
 
We have updated the system to help eliminate the spread of viruses throughout the company.  As always do not open emails from senders that are unknown or open links from unknown senders.

To prevent your emails from stating there may be a Potential Virus, you will have to avoid using the word “C1ick” anywhere in your emails.  (I used the number 1, so this email did not show up as “Potential Virus”)

I bet hackers never use incorrect spellings to get around virus filters.

If Obama's Death Panels just would have panned out, all this innovation wouldn't be needed.

I still have marks on my arm and scapula from bed bug bites back in January.  The ones in my arm actually caused a swelling that put pressure on the nerve and I was experience carpal tunnel like symptoms.  eff bed bugs.

I came in on Saturday for a few hours and was the only one in the place and I heard this loud banging in a different office down the hall so I go to investigate and it's a bird that keeps slamming itself into the window. So odd.

Emos bird picture reminded me of it.

Also we just hired a dude that used to play basketball for a regional D1 school.  Like 6'11".  I cringe every time I see him go through a doorway, but he does it so confidently, like he knows it's a 7'0" doorway and he's not going to hit his head.

Look at these 9' beauties, I bet it'd make him feel like a short dude.



Also 7' doors are generally only 6'8"-6'10" clearance so you might want to investigate him for height fraud.

I have to knock down birds' nests on a weekly basis outside of my office doors, otherwise they end up in the building. They've only invaded once since we moved, but the pandemonium was hilarious. Everything shut down immediately and the whole staff spent the better part of an hour trying to chase it out the back garage door.

The internet says he's 6'10".  I'll try to get an accurate door measurement.
