Quick bitch.
When you have to deal with securing “disruptive technology,” as Hoff calls it, most of the time this technology is being brought in by senior management—who happen to need (and expect) access to the most confidential data. They are also the least likely to appreciate the technical difficulties involved in securing it. You cannot simply tell them that they can only use it to access public data. Try telling an exec with her brand spanking-new iPhone that she won’t be allowed to get her email on it.
Most vendors still do not understand this. They can take their “multi-layered security architecture,” fold it until it is all corners, and shove it in their patronizing poop chutes.
Oh, and while I’m at it? While I’m very happy that you homeroom mothers are trying to provide extra arts and crafts enrichment to our kids, please do not expect me to have the time or inclination to hunt down various art supplies, egg cartons, and other assorted flotsam and jetsam to send to school. I’m managing nine people, juggling five vendors, and trying to scrape up hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding by the end of the year. It’s all I can do to get my kid to do homework every frickin night before we both fall asleep. Please do your thing and leave me to do mine.
