Scott Adams eat your heart out.

Excerpted from a conversation with Daddy Devil Works.

(DDW works for a big healthcare company that shall remain nameless)

DDW: So you know the huge security breach in MS that has been in the news? Our IT firm (a rather large one at that) ignored the warnings so our network got infected.

ME: Hmmm that's smart.

DDW: We're now down in 14 states.

ME: Really?

DDW: We've been down a couple days. We had to send people home.

ME: Wow.

DDW: But that's not the best part. This morning, at the front doors, the IT guys were handing out fliers that said if you had a sticker on your computer, your computer had been cleaned and was ready to go. If it didn't have a sticker, it wasn't clean.

ME: Yeah?

DDW: So they didn't tell us that different stickers meant different things, and an X on the sticker meant it wasn't ready yet.

ME: You're kidding. Maybe they emailed that to you. *snicker*

DDW: Nope, so everyone logged in and the network was down again almost as soon as I got here. Luckily mine was clean so I pulled the network cable out.

ME: Go dad! So ummm what are you doing since you can't do anything?

DDW: Answering phone calls.

ME: Well at least you can get medical records, etc. via fax.

DDW: Nope, the fax goes straight into the computer.

ME: You're kidding. Scott Adams would so love this. So uhhhh have a good day at work?

(PS - L'il Sis, you GOTTA be able to use this somehow)
