Getting in Trouble

A couple of weeks ago I used some tricks (thank you, Mr. McNasty) that let me get administrative access to my work computer. This let me install cool stuff like iPod Rip, Adobe Photoshop, AIM, FreeCell, and a few other programs that I wouldn't normally get to use here at work. Today I went to install this program that I actually do need for work, but it's only available online through our online product catalog (it's retarded). For whatever reason it refused to work with my computer so I called our help desk to get the problem resolved.

Now, my computer has been a little janky ever since it first got set up. I haven't had access to network drives, certain parts of my group's file systems, and none of my settings ever get saved. Generally, this doesn't matter, but it's a little annoying. But most importantly, it's been doing this for 3 weeks now and nothing that I had done to my computer affected its retarded behavior.

Well, the IT lady that came to fix my computer today noticed that I had a few programs installed that she hadn't personally authorized. So she turns around and looks at me. She goes "how'd these get installed?" And I smiled because I knew I was caught. But then I told her how cool I was for wiping out the administrative passwords and getting in so I could set a background picture and listen to music instead of being forced to do nothing all day. She tells me how that's against "company policy" and that she has to re-image my computer because I messed it all up.

I hope she chokes on her own menstrual blood.
