I admire your ability to get paid for this

Good Times. Would you tolerate it if prankster script kiddies could damage your company's toilets? If not, then why tolerate allowing them to damage your computers? [Daring Fireball]

Plenty of stuf here to disagree with, but one good quote makes up for the whole thing:

The corporate IT field is in large parts comprised of men who are not smart enough to program, but yet wanted a career in computers. They are the fifth wheel of corporate America — serving no practical purpose but their own employment.

Cut off

My network port was cut off becasue IT claims I have the Nachi virus on my work-provided laptop. However, every test they publically offers says the machine does not have it, every patch they offer says it's already up to date, and every update says it's already installed.

So, I can't get any mail from them telling me if they've taken care of it, because that requires having the laptop to run Outlook to connect to the exchange server.
