I worked in IT and have a decent tale to tell so I hope this fits in with this weeks QOTW
This post could get me into a lot of trouble so I will try and keep things as anonymous as possible.

From an early age I was interested in computers, maybe because they were a new fangled technology at the time (70’s). My aim to create a game company was a hard one and I took time working as a software engineer for a big corporation while staying after hours to fart around with my own work (Which I rather stupidly stored on the company’s mainframe due to a lack of cash to afford a system at home). As I scraped to get the cash together my work was spotted by another engineer known as Ed.

Ed was a backstabbing asshole and would look at any chance to land someone in hot water and earn him brownie points with the bosses. He naturally saw a good opportunity in the situation and locked me out of the system, changed a few bits of the nearly finished game code I had created and presented it to the bosses as his own work.

I was crushed. I tried to prove it was my work and it all came to nothing, other than threats of a severe legal asskicking. I left the company, took up another job and abandoned all plans to continue in the games industry. Ed got a promotion.

Thankfully with a help from my mates I got a chance to break into the old company and attempt to retrieve the info I needed from the games I created. Sadly my first attempt failed but on my second attempt I got the info needed and Ed got his comeuppance. This was after an incident where I was digitised and had to fight people with a blue tinted electronic frisbee.

IT Support? You could say that I had some help from a bloke in blue spandex and this stupid flying thing that could only say Yes or No.

ah ha

The next one is going to be Flynns son tracking him down and going into the computer. Theres two websites set up for it already and I have just been told the soundtrack is going to be done by Daft Punk.

Yup I can't wait to see it either
