When I came in this morning the few people who were already here were fuming that they couldn't log in to the network. I tried, and sure enough, neither could I. I tracked down an IT guy and found out that the little "your password is about to expire" notification thingy (see why I'm not in IT? I call things "thingies.") isn't working, and pretty much everyone is being locked out for trying to use an expired password.
So the poor IT guys are having to reset passwords as infuriated users call them.
Now there's some kind of freaky print problem. Jobs are piling up in the queues, and occasionally a printer will spit out half a page of a job followed by a blank page and then a page with some random characters. Actually, it looks like the printers are cursing: #$%^&*!!!
I heard one workgroup is giving up and going out for breakfast, which, come to think of it, sounds like a darn fine idea.
