Do not cross this line

Before I began my week or so off work, some new people moved into our office. Based on past experience with others, I made it quite clear that when I returned, I expected to find my work space as I left it. Nothing moved, nothing taken, and nobody sub-letting or otherwise occupying it.

They took it to heart. I came back to this;-


Okay, it's on my phone camera and not good, but you get the idea. Anyway, it's atmospheric, like one of those sneaky hand-held news pics. My portion of the office was draped with black and yellow tape, you know, "Crime scene, do not cross" stuff.

Fat lot of good though, my stand-alone PC had all the connections removed and the mouse has vanished. Apparently in delivering a brand new PC (seen in the pic among the tape) out IT could not tell the difference between an old networked unit and a so-old-its-off-inventory unit recovered for me to test work on. I might have to get forensics in to track down the missing mouse.

But other than that, a good ROFL is welcome, right back after holidays. Nobody has owned up to it but I think it's an outside job, nobody I work with has a sense of humour that they are aware of.
