This story is so funny it has to be shared...

Although I'm a techie, I'm closely aligned to salesmen and provide technical backup to them. As a result I need to have access to our sales forecasting system which has just changed and the training course was today.

The daft sods that set it up set my training login to the production system, not the training system. As a result, the live global sales system for them what does the Anti-Virus in the yellow boxes showed for several hours today an almost closed deal for $1.2BILLION with a customer contact named George Bush, email address dubya@whitehouse.gov and a contact position of "Warmonger".

Lol Andy. I bet someone was having kittens looking at the deal.

I mark my test environments with odd colour choices or something similar after doing something to a live government database once that didn't go down too well.
