Awwww

This morning at work, I heard someone ask a third party if they knew (a slightly mangled version of) my name. I said "that's me" and was presented with a package from a florist.

Red roses. With a very sweet note, including the phrase "we are all ridiculously sentimental" and signed simply "A."

I guessed at which A it was. I guessed wrong, and cattitude told me that he didn't actually know where I was working, I remembered adrian_turtle asking yesterday what my new employer is called, and he observed that I have a clever, sneaky turtle. I do, at that. I am pleased.

Don't get me a pile of pseudo legalese to sign about how it's my responsibility to keep personal data safe—and then give me a hard time because I ask you questions like…

"What the hell does that mean?" and

"If I'm responsible for maintaining physical security for an area and that area does not actually LOCK—what do I have to do?"

Because it means I'm actually looking at the crap you wrote and actually consider such issues.
