Librarians do have a sense of humour

It's the end of year round up at the moment and so we're not supposed to be processing any acquisitions on the computer system. I just wanted to look up something so absent-mindedly tried to get into the module only to get the following message:

You may not use Acquisitions module

... and you're very naughty for trying

*grin* there are days when I love our IT guys.

IT with a sense of humor is the best.

My husband designs software and recently was working on something that, during testing, he had set it up return the error message "Hooter!" if it couldn't find what it was supposed to.

He forgot to take that out when it went into production. Heh. When I asked him that day why he had worked late, his face got very red.

I love all the hidden little things that programmers put into things - the flight simulator hidden in Excel etc etc - and always think it's a shame when they have to be taken out. This really made me smile this morning rather than making me worry that I broke the system! :D
