Also, the amusing part of the whole work computer thing?

They didn't just fuck up my access despite the fact that I did all the stuff I was supposed to do in March to keep my security access current (it was an online edu. document I filled in and submitted that didn't get registered).

Everyone in my department didn't register in their system.

By tomorrow, no one in purchasing, central supply or receiving will be able to get into the system thanks to the electronic security requests not getting recognized and acknowledged way back in March. And unless some serious strings get pulled, it could be two weeks or better before anyone can get back into the system, including our Big Boss. Essentially, that fuck up just shut us down. We can't order, we can't input incoming product. We can't even check purchase orders to see who they belong to.

Way to go, Perot. Real smash up job. I applaud you with a golf clap. Hope none of your grandmas are in our ICU, because if they need something, we might not be able to get it for them.

Yikes!? Isn't there anyone that you can escalate that stuff to? I mean, a whole department being offline should be like, major red-alert stuff!

We're hoping. The boss of the computer geeks is going to do his best, but he already told me this has happened to a couple of other departments, and the average time span, even with string pulling, is 3 days to a week. So, yeah. Not holding my breath, here.
