Dilbert: Company tracking you visiting this site
I know that many of you are visiting this site from your work computers. Don’t worry, your IT guys and your boss really don’t mind.
How to start each day with a positive outlook
- Open a new file in your computer.
- Name it “Barack Obama”
- Send it to the Recycle Bin.
- Empty the Recycle Bin.
- Your computer will ask you “Do you really want to get rid of Barack Obama?”
- Firmly click on “Yes”
Do you feel better?
Dilbert on iPhone loss (theft?)
Dilbert is great. I love the humor. Typically, when I republish something from Dilbert, I use the embed tool that Scott Adams has on his site. It seems that since these strips will never be published in your local paper, there is no embed. Therefore, I am not doing this the official way. I sure hope Scott doesn’t sue me but do me a favor and jump over to his site and tell him how great these strips are!
Computers help us to be productive – NOT!
The wisdom presented by Scott Adams through Dilbert is amazing.
If ever there was a more perfect blonde joke
During a company’s recent password audit, it was found that a
blonde employee was using the following password:
“MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento”
When
asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to
be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.
SEC workers like porn!
I couldn’t help laughing at this bit of news! I picked this up at Crossing Wall Street:
From the NYT: It seems that the Securities and Exchange Commission may have a pornography problem even bigger than expected.
Gawker reported that S.E.C. is investigating allegations and reports of rampant pornography viewing, surfing, sharing, and downloading by employees on their work computers.
From popular PornHub and Tube V to animated porn cartoons on 4Chan of all places! These employees apparently know where to find their fun, if only it wasn’t at the taxpayers’ expense!
Now we’ve obtained reports of 16 investigations into porn-surfing by SEC employees and contractors (one of them is a woman!), The
blog writes. This is including one man who said his daily porn viewing at work was limited to “no longer than an hour and a half a day.”
”
Call that limited!? What kind of superhuman can watch an hour and a half of porn every day and not exhaust themselves? All without his supervisor noticing as well? Is the supervisor also at their own desk watching PornSex or other naughty things? What a scoop! But it doesn’t end there, the article continues:
The sixteen cases reported by Gawker follows a February article by The Washington Times, which first reported details of the S.E.C.’s
internal investigation.In a semiannual report by the S.E.C.’s internal watchdog to Congress released in December, H. David Kotz, the S.E.C.’s inspector general outlines numerous cases of misconduct by former and current employees, including two instances of S.E.C. officials using their office computers to view pornography on the Internet.
Wow! Whenever you think of your supervisor yelling at you for peeking at Facebook, try not to get jealous of the S.E.C officials who had been getting away with watching porn long for who knows how long. Someone get these employees a relationship councellor.
Excel based NCAA Div. 1 Men’s Basketball Tournament Brackets with drop-downs
Check out this great NCAA Division 1 Men’s basketball tournament brackets document. If you are like me, you put your picks into several pools. I used to use one of the brackets that is posted on a sports site or in the newspaper but this one absolutely rocks. When you pick the winner of a game, that winner is available in a drop-down menu for the next game. No more mistakes or having people tell me they can’t read my writing! This document has made it a lot easier for us to manage the NCAA tournament games. Perhaps more people should consider using it. One of my friends said that his office uses this document to track the NCAA progress. As they often place bets on the winners, it’s ideal for them to use. His office is really into NCAA basketball. Some of the employees even got ncaa flags made to make sure they can show their support for their favorite team. That’s a good idea.
If you follow the NCAA this closely, you might also want to look at this document. You can download the Excel document at I Think Therefore I Rant. I checked it out and it is virus free according to my virus checker. It doesn’t use any macros so it is safe.
You could even tell all your office co-workers for the office pool. It is awesome. Hopefully, your favorite team will win the tournament games.
