Subtract Halo

Submitted by matthew on Sat, 06/28/2008 - 09:51.

Well, let's see... let's subtract Halo (or whatever it is he's playing) because you get fired if you play games at work... and if I said the F-word to anybody outside of my department I'd get fired... and I'm not allowed to remote-control any PC in the enterprise... and all email is encrypted on the server so I can't modify anybody's mailbox but my own... and we use handset-based voip rather than headset-based voip... and nobody except my co-workers have my direct line... and we have to give a minimum of 48 hours notice before taking any production site down...

Yeah1 Exactly the same!

No, I have a background wallpaper of penis-shaped icons. It is designed to confuse anybody else who might try to use my computer. The only real way to get anything done on my PC is to press Alt+F2 and enter the name of the windowed command manually.

That aspect DOES closely resemble my workplace.
