Major Issues

Earlier this week one of my coworkers was freaking out because the name that came up (If you click on the start button of a windows machine, it's the name that shows up at the top) on all the computers he was logging into said "Major Issues". He assumed that something had gone wrong on the networking side of our rollout last weekend and that all the computers had been erroneously given that name. What a collossal mistake by our network people! They must be notified immediately!

Turns out it was a joke. Apparently since my coworker runs over to the networking people at the first sign of trouble and tells them, "We've got major issues people, major issues!" They decided to change his profile name to Major Issues. The look on his face when he discovered that the joke was on him was priceless. I was laughing so hard tears almost started pouring out of my eyes.

Tee hee that is hilarious! I love it when IT people screw with office staff.

Wow - those guys must have serious windows skills to change the name on the Start menu without changing his login. Well, more serious than my skills anyway: My greatest windows accomplishment to date was getting rid of the language buttons on the taskbar. Hate those.
