Imagine nothing

The company I work for has gone totally Zen. One of my tasks is to be the department liaison for changes to certain systems. Part of that involves a weekly meeting that reviews current changes.

Part of entering a change is to cite what impact (if any) this change will have to the customer (e.g. the server will be unavailable for 90 minutes). If there is no impact to the customer, one would think that it would suffice to put "none" in that field. One would be wrong. It was stated, "We want to see that you put some thought into [the impact field]."

They want to see that you put some thought into NOTHING !!!

Oh crud, my hair is bleeding again.
