So I just infected the office with that new virus

There's a new virus that comes as a zip file. Out of the 15 or so random subject lines it has, one is about an application. We're recruiting, so I thought someone had sent us a zipped application. Then I proceeded to become one of the people I usually tease.

It all worked out for the best though. Our IT guy came down to run a cleaning application on my computer and said "I'm not going to be able to fix you right now ... all of our servers just crasahed becasue of this thing." I, of course, panicked, turned red, and said "it's not because of me, is it?" He busted out laughing and has been teasing me for about 45 minutes so far. Of course, he's been telling everyone in the office about it (all my friends anyway). This will probably entertain the office for a few days.

I feel like such a dumbass.

I've destroyed the network in my office because of a virus once. They still bust my balls about it.

The worst part is, since I realized what I had done and informed the correct people (rather than ignoring it completely) no one else will be able to do it. I mean, that's good, but now I'm the only one. Yeah, JP would be adding to it, I'm sure.

Scott: I got a short email from him, but he was traveling. He said he'd send more later. Thanks for the email address.

I once destroyed my office with a virus, too.

Hi, I'm Lu Man, Hong Kong businessman, and I'd like to talk to you about the importance of owning a good voluntary health benefits plan like the ones offered by the fine folks at AFLAC.

AFLAC: If you get SARS, we give you money.

Nothing ruins my day more than a computer virus. I don't get pissed off at the people who open the files and infect everything, though. I get pissed at the people who create them. Fucking assholes need their asses removed.

I'm the guy in my company who runs around and cleans these things up. When the managers who make $100,000 a year don't know that an unsolicited email from Jessica33350ss06 asking them to "cum in her face" is actually not personally addressed to them, I go to work. I've worked for a large corporation for almost four years now, and I'm still convinced that people who make that kind of money are simply lucky, not skilled.

billz3bub, you were this || close to getting a five for that remark, but I already gave you one. That's funny stuff. And I thought hotgrrl0000069 really liked me.

edit: Leave it virusmakers to make So Big a bad thing. Up until now, I've been flattered every time I heard it.
