No Touching
October 11, 2005
If you had been at a new job for only a few weeks and, while poking around in the basement, came across a computer station all set up and running in an obviously unused corner, would you: [a] ask the computer person what's up with the weird lonely station in the basement, [b] as your supervisor what's up with the weird lonely station in the basement, [c] ask to put a volunteer on it, or [d] turn the monitor on and start poking around to see what you can find?
Seriously, new people: stop touching our server!

Ok I admit it... if I found a loan pc in the basement and never saw anyone using it, I'd plonk myself down and start poking around.
Ah, but are you not the computer person at work? Chances are you would already know what the computer in the basement is for.
...i would poke around also.
OMG - I would never poke around! I would be apalled at someone poking around! I'm obviously on a different wavelength than most of your readers...
