Total Serious Happy Thread

Today I had the most Dilbert/Office Space experience in my 10 year existence within the corporate world.

I don't know if it makes it better or worse that everybody involved knows just how stupid it was and that it had to be done anyway (SOX compliance can kiss my ass until such time as it is fixed to focus on things that actually protect markets and investors).

I could be annoyed but, since it is unlikely to recur, I am actually pretty amused and pleased to have been involved with such perfect (and therefore beautiful in its way) inanity.

One of my pet peeves of my workplace is the absurd amount of things justified by "SOx compliance" - No where in SOx is an IT help desk required to keep screen prints of every reported problem, and nowhere does it say you have to keep these permanently - Oh and surprise, there are regulations far more restrictive than SOx that have been around longer than SOx - bah! the next executive briefing I'm going to have everyone fitted for Orange jumpsuits.

Sorry - I'll come back when I have something happy
