I left the company but I did keep in touch with some of my friends who where in IT. It seems that my replacement, Martin, was a bit of a character. My friend had a calendar at his desk that he used to keeping track of Martin’s login resets. This was not company wide but only to keep track of how often Martin locks himself out of his own account – three failed attempts and the account is locked.
It seems that on his first day Martin locked his account four times, which seems a bit much but I guess between the local machine and remotely connecting to other machines it is possible. It seems like not a week goes by with one or two password resets. The “high score” is actually six times in a single five day week.
Well, actually there are two calendars. The second calendar gets a mark whenever Martin wears a certain shirt to work. We are not positive but the general consensus is that Martin’s wardrobe is a pair of jeans, two t-shirts and a hooded sweatshirt.
