Bank of America needs me to verify my identityImgur now blocked at work. Which reminds me....
In January, our crack IT squad sent out a fake phishing email, with plenty of clues indicating it was not legit. The link included was clicked by 19% of our employees. This caused great consternation, and mandatory training for everyone, not just the ones who clicked.
In September, they sent another email, which snared 29% of employees.
Enjoy your Friday, GMTAN.

It's an old classic and I know it happened lots of places, but I'll never forget the day, when email was becoming mainstream, that someone sent an email and copied literally everyone in our fortune 500 company. Just hearing everyone's cubicle ping-ping-ping with "remove me please" for the whole day. Good times.

And then all the folks who have to do a "Reply all" to say "Please don't use 'Reply All'"
It got so bad here one day that I created a rule to automatically route them all to a folder called "Hilarity Ensues"

For a while if I tried to search for something like "analyzing the Constitution" the results would be blocked because it had "anal" in the search term.Imgur now blocked at work. Which reminds me....

No but I finally got the IT guys to unblock "anal" or "analyze" as search terms. After that I could watch all the butt####ing videos I wanted.

My company did this in May. It was funny how angry some people got when they found out it was a test and they failed.Imgur now blocked at work. Which reminds me....

Quick probably stupid question: Do you deal with a lot of medical office personnel like the type of people that went to those 2 year, private junior colleges? Like this http://www.sjvc.edu/programs/medical-and-dentalWe operate eleven hospitals and hundreds of clinics. So, yeah.

I've been seeing your CEO around more lately. I'll put in a good word for the guy with the magic space hair next time I see her.We operate eleven hospitals and hundreds of clinics. So, yeah.
The first time we did one of those tests I failed. Our CIO was ranting to me in a bar one night about what a bunch of morons we had and I had to admit that I was one of the morons.

Guy that teaches next door calls me over to show me something. He's got a kid that is in the "semi-special class". I know this kid and he barely qualifies for special service. He's also a PITA.
My buddy assigned the kids a wordsearch (that he created using a web app). PITA kid keeps trying to say that he doesn't know how to do wordsearches. This is his M.O. when he just doesn't feel like working.
Eventually PITA kid does turn in his word search with one word circled: C *NT

Soooo....3 weeks ago some old HS buddies approached me about a startup idea that I loved... it's in the VIP/Hospitality space with tremendous first line opportunity in the sports/festival venue market. Needed a marketing guy. Im in. We've firmed up the product, set up basic infrastructure, and had a first meeting today with a "handler" for a fairly large investor.
Handler came into the meeting casually with that "I'm here as a favor to someone" vibe... within 5 mins he's more excited than us and running with the idea. Says he's got $XMM he'd throw in but this is too big for that... Says his main guy will likely be in, but says they want a big fish on board (think shark tank) who is apparently buddies with main guy.
Now we get a text that main guy (who is on the board at the NCAA) is gung ho and already has two NFL HOFers excited about handling the NFL angle while he handles the NCAA side.
Meeting set in 2 weeks at Main guy's lake house to go over business plan in more detail and firm up a plan of attack. Apparently he's going to look into Shark Tank guy either being there or conferencing in.
My head is spinning... attempting to temper enthusiasm but this is unfolding crazy quickly...

Sorry, head is spinning a bit and trying to be somewhat vague for obvious reasons, but there are some pretty knowledgeable folks in here who have likely been through similar ####.

Not to be a downer but it won't move as fast as you think and if it does then you are giving up too much equity. If it's such a great idea someone else would have done it. And even if you get the money you still have to build the business.Sorry, head is spinning a bit and trying to be somewhat vague for obvious reasons, but there are some pretty knowledgeable folks in here who have likely been through similar ####.

Engineering firm. The funny thing is my department is kind of looked down upon for what we do (even though we are by far the most profitable per employee) and nobody in my department fell for the trap while a bunch of the smarty pants engineers did.

This.
Despite my frustrations with my senior partner, we grew our revenues 10x over the first two years after I and another partner joined. Unfortunately, over the past year our revenues are down about 50%. Most of that is because of changes in the industry environment.
Things happen.
