    Irony

    While returning from a coffee run, I noticed a small pile of papers on one of the printer/copiers. Someone had copied or scanned a document and left the originals behind.

    The documents in question were talking about security, specifically, the need to keep documents secured for a variety of reasons. Including not leaving original documents behind on a printer, copier, or scanner.

    Who left them there? Our Director of Compliance. Want to guess what her job is?

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    That's gotta hurt!

    At one job, my boss gave me his computer because he received a new one. He should have first deleted the file on the hard disk that listed the salaries of everyone in his department!

    At another job, the photocopier broke. So, they called a repairman to fix the problem. After working his magic, the repairman emerged from the copier room holding two pages that he had found jammed in the machine. "Are these important?", he asked. Both pages were stamped "Top Secret", from a particular three letter government organization. I just hope they didn't take the poor repairman out back to shoot him!

    Document Control? :)
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Stereo face palm deserved.

    Why do people get to keep their jobs after doing that.


    Is there a good reason to trust this person with these things anymore?

    Because everyone has done it at least one time or another; as long as it isn't their private parts or, a copy thereof, the corporate world will keep on turning.

    IF, you are old enough, think back to the days when they used carbon paper and mimeograph machines, at that time, carbon paper was a security risk at the DoD certified R & D lab that designed the prototype controls for the F-18 fighter jets.

    ETA: A simple sign reminding folks to take their original helped.

    Yup, I can still remember the smell the mimeograph machines put off all these decades later.
