My work replaced all the old Win2K machines with new ones running Windows 7. At the same time, they replace the old book indexing software (custom-written in house, works on Win7) with a new experimental one (again, custom written). They did this with the meticulous planning and brilliant implementation they always do. Naturally, nothing works.

So, they manage to skip two versions of windows with no major problems, but can't remember which book indexing software was only for testing?

No, they simply decided to roll out the new version (with ruffles and flourishes mind you, including a "training" "meeting") only two weeks after the first actual employees got their hands on it to test, at the same time that they're conducting a (critically needed, the 2K machines were on their last legs, and some still had Windows 98 stickers on the front) major infrastrutcture upgrade. What could possibly go wrong?

So I currently work at a family business. It's an auto repair shop, and a small one, with 5 employees counting me. I sit at the front and deal with customers, do some light paperwork, write people's checks, post on these forums, etc. Anywho, when it's not too busy, some of the mechanics go to the back room where there's a computer and play solitaire/watch youtube vidoes/etc. I almost never use that computer, except for a select few things.

Today I went back there and needed to return to a website I visited last week for some paperwork I was doing, so I looked in the browser history. You should know by now where I'm going with this... turns out, someone's not quite satisfied just playing solitaire. They also have vastly different tastes in erotic literature than I do (they only seem to visit the short story sites).

I'm not going to turn anyone in. To me, it's absolutely no worse in any way shape or form than playing cards or watching youtube. But it still surprised me, so to the WTF thread it goes :)

If you figure out who it is, give them a friendly tip on how to delete the browser history (and then quickly open a bunch of tabs to create a false one to avoid leaving holes).  :P

I've narrowed it down to two people, but I don't want to risk calling either of them out. If I guess wrong, they'll turn the other in, and probably cost them their job. Not worth it :P

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Ooh, we're getting to the advanced topics now. What about always having an innocuous window open, prepared for a quick alt-tab? Heck, with some of my wallpapers, I have to do that whenever I'm using my computer in public. :P

No, I'm just the only one who knows anything about IT in this house. I could clean out my history and rebuild a new one out of my readitlater list and no one here would know the difference between the two.
