Colleagues IT Blunders

[bogeyman]

Once knew a chap who kept a long, rambling text file of all his strange sexual fantasies and what he'd like to do to various female colleagues.

As this was under his username, he thought nobody else would ever be able to access it.

Sadly for him, he hadn't reckoned on a particularly evil systems programming team.

It still makes me cringe for the poor stupid bastard

I was responsible for this one.....

On my 3rd contract as a lowly support monkey I got a role at a bank in London. My first task (and only as it happens) was to upgrade DOS on a PC. This PC was one of those old IMB PS/2 things with a 40 mb hd. It had Dos 3.2 on it which could only see 32mb partitions. IMB DOS pops up a menu asking if I want to move the partition - thinking that it would warn me before doing anything bad I figured I'd give it a go. After much whirring and clanking up pops a message saying formatting 1%, 2% etc. As the blood drained from my face and the sweat started the guy in the office asked if there was a problem. My response of "It shouldn't be much longer and I'll be done here" could not be more apt. It turned out that it was the IT directors PC. 3 hours I lasted and one expensive lesson learnt!

Yes I did.

Also, I really did want to dress up the dwarf from Marketing as a clown.

We all have our kinks.

That's not what it says here. It says

I thought a strange sexual fantasy for an IT 'chap' was a shag that involved more than just himself?

An IT Support monkey in a blue chip I was working sent an email around saying: "please be aware of a virus going around the company from emails of this type" and copied the original email with the virus script and payload to the entire global organisation...

What a class monkey...
