Problems at Work

So yesterday we came across a little problem here at Albany Med. We had a computer guy (though he wasn't IT) come down to try to hook me up to some wireless printer so I could print in color. Originally I tried to do it myself, to no avail and my great frustration.

Well apparently it would have been impossible to hook me up to a printer because I had been borrowing someone else's account. When the man found this out, in fact, he flipped shit. Apparently it was a security breach, and he kept insisting that he could get fired if he didn't report this.

So here I am, freaking out because I'd admitted someone had given me their user name and password to use... thinking I've just gone and gotten my "boss" in major trouble.... so I was a little panicked.

Well, at that point Tonya (the woman in question) came over after seeing my apparently horrified face. She explain that it would be okay, that they'd gotten through MUCH worse working under Dr. Zimmerman (I lol'd at that). I wasn't too reassured, but it certainly was nice to see she wasn't really pissed at me. I had been afraid Tonya was going to blame me and never speak to me again! Ah, the maturity of adults in action.

Well in the end, Tonya didn't even really get a slap on the wrists. She explain that since I originally was only going to be here for less than 3 weeks, she knew by the time I got my own account set up, I'd be gone! So, they set me up with an account that very second, and here I am online with it!

So yeay! All's well that ends well.

Grrrr. This made me angry. There is a reason we make separate accounts for people. That being said, if IT is going to take 3 weeks to set one up, it's their own fault if people don't bother.
