serinde: (determination)
In the spirit of the first sign of emotional recovery in our office being someone wedging a Nerf glider in between the twin towers in our Puzz 3-D of the New York skyline, I declare a contest: Post here your suggestions for the relabeling of the eleventh of September.

I have opened the bidding with the modest contribution of "NEVAR FORGETT!!1 Day".
[livejournal.com profile] elibalin upped the ante with "The Feast of St. Zomg".
What've you got?
serinde: (dancing zombies!)
(14:46:15) [livejournal.com profile] elibalin: What do I want to eat?
(14:46:36) [livejournal.com profile] syringavulgaris: Power shake!
(14:46:52) [livejournal.com profile] elibalin: I did not ask what your battle cry is.
(14:48:26) [livejournal.com profile] syringavulgaris: Yolato!
(14:48:44) [livejournal.com profile] elibalin: I did not ask for the name of your spunky sidekick.
(14:49:04) [livejournal.com profile] syringavulgaris: With a few more rounds of this we could generate a stupid webquiz.
(14:49:20) [livejournal.com profile] elibalin: "Stupid webquiz" is redundant.
(14:49:48) [livejournal.com profile] elibalin: WAT CONDIMENT R U LOL TAK QIZ
serinde: (I see stupid people)
Context: this particular corp. customer still gives [livejournal.com profile] dariodevil snarling fits when their name is mentioned. They call weekly, on average, with some kind of mail problem that is some form of PEBKAC, usually lost passwords. (They're also the ones who asked for an "SSI certificate" for their web site.) It's almost always the same cranky old(-sounding) secretary-ish woman calling, too. Naturally she's the one who has the least grasp on these difficult new technologies.

[Wrong password, usual changing ritual, all is well until:]
Your humble correspondent: ...so that'll work within 5 minutes or so.
Madam Wahmbulance: Thank you, but I just want you to know that you're driving us crazy with this code business.
YHC: [assuming she means the alphabet soup-ism of the random generator] Well, of course you can change the password to whatever you like--
MW: NO, I mean having it at all! Why do we have to type in a code every time we want to get our mail? It's such a hassle!
YHC: ...........Because if a mail account were not password protected, anyone on the Internet would be able to read your mail?
MW: I don't care, it's ridiculous! It's driving us crazy! Thank you for the new code but this is completely unreasonable. *click*
