Hostage Web Site Apathy

Right. So I found out that web users trying to check out their appointments, going to the clinic web site could be redirected to a vagabond web site if they forgot to put a period between "my" and "(the name of our site)". I brought this to the attention of our support team, and they were all like "who cares". Well, shit, I do, since I discovered it.

The bogus website misleads users into thinking they're at our site. My suggestion was "let's buy the domain".

The response from the "support" team was"that users need to learn to type the right URL"! Not cool. This is an easy mistake for our customers to make. Then the "support" team gave me all sorts of hell over my suggestion.

I love every member of the "support" team dearly. Even now.

Turns out to be a known issue. I placed a bet with the team that this would result in us buying the domain.

I know I'm right... I hope.

Oh, BTW, Bo Bice will SOOO win Idol.

Droppin' PLATES

Tania, a coworker, left early yesterday, so I had to play a trick on her. Mandatory!

She had a stack of bright red plastic plates in her drawer. I spread them out over her desk, like a tea party. Even tacked one to her wall. Her roomy thought it would be good to put water in each plate, but I resisted. She didn't see them until today. I also spread her Carmex on the space bar of her keyboard. This is what computer geeks do. What can I say. Oh, I also opened her ubrella and put it on her desk.

Anywhooo, her reaction to the plates was awesome. She was like "Singing In The Rain". She tried to tell me that the Carmex ruined her keyboard. Nice try.

Today I put lip balm on Joe's planner. Let's wait to see what happens there...
