Along the blocking epidemic that companies have enforced for ridiculous reasons, I recall when the internet was new, and dial up was first introduced into the office.
The VP was a person who acted like a caricature straight out of a movie from the fifties.
Everytime someone "dared" to use the internet, as soon as she heard the dial up, and static sound, she would come running out of her office to see who was using it, and for what purpose.
Pathetic, and hilarious at the same time, we saw potential for some fun.
Note; only one computer could dial in at a time, and someone else trying to dial in would disconnect the active user.
Sometimes we would start the dial up, then stop it, wait a few minutes, then someone else would do the same, just to see her run around.
We would blame the computer for the error.
Good times, good times.
