We had a staff meeting today and nothing was brought up about my boo boo. Eric, my supervisor was really nice as usual but some of my gal coworkers were getting a laugh about it. Lori moreso about IT's reactions.

Lori told me IT said something to the effect that my computer "was just an accident waiting to happen."

Turns out it hadn't been "updated with much needed software" since 2003.

I laughed. That's when the computer was purchased and installed in my office!

Guess I should be commended for keeping it spyware/virus free all that time.


They also hadn't wiped it clean yet, so I WAS able to save all those pet photos.
