Useless post from work

[RVertigo]

I used to work with a guy that had a really easy admin password...  So, I logged in to his C$ and started changing things...  He hated Rap music, so I set his start-up sound to a 3 minute Snoop-Dog song...  Then when he wasn't at his desk, I walked over and turned his speakers all the way up and shut his machine off.   He had TONS of Internet shortcuts on his desktop, so I changed the titles of them to things like Hot Teens, etc.  He deleted ALL of them...     Then I'd create stuff on his desktop while he was using the machine...  And delete other stuff he'd just placed on his desktop.  Good stuff.

The funniest thing I did to a machine was the old stand-by...  I dragged every desktop icon, every favorite, and every start menu shortcut to a guy's start-up group... Then shut his machine off...  He started his machine and every program on the thing was starting up...  He freaked out, "What the... What the..."  And decided that the right thing to do was to restart the machine...  Then again, "What the...  What the..." **reboot**    I was friggen dying.

And the one that I got in shaZam!-loads of trouble for was back when Napster was a common "problem" at offices...  People would run Napster servers and ruin the bandwidth of the whole office...  Well, we had one such guy...  And EVERYONE hated his 'cause all he did all day was DL MP3s and slack off......   He left his machine unlocked and went out for his scheduled hour lunch.  So, I changed all his Napster short-cuts to point to a TXT file that read, "Get Back to Work." Then I deleted ALL of his MP3s.

Well, he went to our manager and said that someone was messing with his machine and making it so he couldn't work...  He said it would take him several hours to get his machine back in working order...  Then he said that someone left disparaging remarks about his ethics on his machine and that he was considering a lawsuit.

It turned out that our manager was working on firing him...  And now he couldn't since the guy said "lawsuit."  Our manager put out a department wide announcement that messing with other people's machine and impacting productivity was now a firing offence.

I was SOOOO screwed since I told at least five other people what I'd done to his machine.  Lucky for me when my lead found out he was cool enough not to tell the manager...  So, I didn't get fired... But, I was my lead's buttboy for a long time after that.

I've really chilled out...  I occasionally do something silly... But, I usually get 10x the payback and decide that escalation should end there.

I like Texas. I went shopping today on my bike, just to run some errands. I'm going on a big ride through the hill country this Saturday. The next weekend I'm going riding to Moscow/Geneva and Nacogdoches. Then the weekend after that I'm going on another hill country ride. Then I go to Mexico (maybe). Then I go to Big Bend.

Jesus I'm so happy.

Damn, you guys sound fun. The best thing I got at CycleGear, is to go around and blow up a plastic bag. And right before the bead is about to pop on a street tire, pop the bag behind their back. Our compressor is messed up, so you have to air it up straight off the chuck, so that makes for some funny shaZam!. Ryan knocked a tire off the machine once, with no valve stem in it, now that was funny shaZam!.
