Because I work at a public company we're having to do all kinds of crazy controls, jumping through hoops and killing entire forests with extra paperwork so that we can be "compliant" with a public company's system of checks and balances. Part of that is splitting duties into multiple parts so that what used to take one person 30 minutes to do, now takes 3.5 people 6.25 hours to get done. To this end our IT department has been putting limitations on my access to certain parts of our financial software to ensure everything meets compliance. On Monday I noticed that I could no longer select checks for a check run. Being the guy who pays the bills, this is a major part of my job duties. IT says that is what our auditors want, but are trying to see if there's some way I can still do my job or if I just need to "compliantly" twiddle my thumbs. This morning I come in to find I can't even log into our finance software because that permission has been cut off. Lovely. If they want to pay me to post blog entries while they try to get a clue, I'm perfectly fine with that.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
