I hate corporate life
The bank that I work at has a "standard image" based on Windows XP, to simplify desktop support. Okay, I can live with that. Part of that standard image is Internet Explorer version 6. Given that IE 6 has more holes than a nice piece of Swiss cheese, I installed Google Chrome a year ago and I've been using it for non-work purposes (i.e. any time I need/want to go outside the corporate firewalls) ever since.
Until today.
Apparently, they ran a script on login that deletes any "non-standard" browser. So, rather than have me run a secure browser which won't bring viruses into the corporate LAN, they'd rather have me run some buggy piece of crap to make (non-existant) support easier. I have never called support about a browser issue, so I can't really imagine what brought this on, other than some particularly bone-headed attempt to "enforce compliance" at the expense of security.
So, yeah, fuck corporate life, if they'd rather have me "standardized" than secure.
