GEEK RANT WARNING!

We have a security violation on 2 of our servers. The tool I need to use to create a record of ongoing efforts to resolve (Risk Evaluation) prompts me to save as a draft in order to proceed after I fill out the basic info. After saving (I really have no other options, NONE) I cannot find the draft I just saved. I have done this 3 times. I am ready to say **** IT and tell my mgr that 2 out of 21 servers is really a less than 10% defect rate and upper mgmt can just take our word that we are working on it.

OK, rant and tech talk done!

I am ready to just continue working on the problem without the paperwork. What is the worst they can do?

Doc, your recent hand washing of the fugly inspired me to do a complete Denny-O yesterday.
Then I wake up this morning wondering why my arms hurt, my back hurts, my legs hurt, you get the drift.........
Have a great trip!
