The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

How'd your Monday go, hon?

Got another level of hell added to our department. Now, whenever we e-mail a client we have to place #ms# in the subject line.

Then, our clients (who already struggle with entering new hires and keying payroll themselves) receive an e-mail letting them know that they have an e-mail waiting from us.

They have to create a username and password in order to access the server that holds each and every e-mail that comes from us.

I won't ~even~ get into what they have to do in order to reply to us using the same security. WAY over their heads.

*shakes head*

It's an unmitigated disaster, my friend. Nobody likes this thing at all. Not us, not the clients, no one.

But after four (4) calls to the wayport noc monkeys they did finally let me get the building maintenance dude to let us into the room where the wifi A/P lives... and power cycle the thing... and lo and behold... it came back up.

Oh, good everlovin' Lord...

Is this SOX related or something else?

Somewhat.

The company has decided that they want to be "cutting edge" with security.

We all had to attend a training with the most ridiculous guidelines ever.

Among them, if any co-worker shows up without their badge, you must escort them to the security desk to verify their employment before allowing them into any department.

*rolls eyes*

You can only imagine how that rule has been snickered at.

Ok guys...

So the panel that decides who gets called back on the really nifty job Rosie's applied for, meets tomorrow morning. You know what that means; tonight and tomorrow morning, remember to be very obnoxious in praying for Rosie. Hopefully we can get Heaven so fed up with all this constant nagging that she'll get the job. Right?

So. You've got your orders. Give it a try if you please!
