The trouble with this entire information security guarantee that my office promises to our clients – is that we guys have very limited rights to our own work-stations. For example, we can not even delete files saved by somebody else in our own computer! I mean, is this fair?!
Anyway, we had to attend this training program in office once, and the trainer guy wanted to copy some files to the computer. Now I suppose you guys can figure that the external drives are all disabled on our computers – so there is no way you can either copy crap into the computer, nor take any out of it. The only thing to do during times like these is to call the IT guy.
So, one of the guys took the pen drive from the trainer and said:
Guy 1: I will go meet the IT bugger and get them copied to this computer!
Now the training room we were seated at is separated from the office area by something that can be called as a lobby. A lot of guys stand around and chat in this place during the tea breaks, and what do you know – it was time for a tea break then.
Anyhow, it should have normally taken this guy like, under two minutes, to find the IT guy and have the stuff copied. But it was well over ten minutes since he had left the room, and we had no clue what he was up to. So a friend and I decided to step out and find out what was taking him so long.
As we stepped out, we found this guy, chit-chatting among a bunch of other guys in the lobby. Looking at this, my friend got a little annoyed and asked:
Guy 2: Were you not supposed to find the IT bugger?!
Poor guy had simply failed to notice that the IT guy was sitting right beside him!
IT Bugger: The IT bugger is sitting right here! You come to me next time when you have trouble, and I will take care of you then!
The look on his face – ah, it was like he had let a loud one go in the middle of a conference!
