I Freaked Out At Work Today!!

I just wanted to let you all know the strange thing that happened to me at work today.

I am a software test analyst and I am working on testing a new piece of software to be rolled out in our company. It's basically a customer database but you can do a lot of clever things with it, won't bore you with the details.

Anyway, there is some test data on this software, made up names etc. I would say probably about 2000 records in total. So, I am there doing my testing and for one of my tests I had to pick a random record from the database. I just plumped for a particlaur record number and guess what name came back......

....Mr Michael Jackson!!!!! I nearly wet myself!!!!! Of all of the 2000 records I picked THAT one!! WTF????

I must be channeling MJ energy at the moment - lol.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Really? Thats too funny!!!

LOL, I would prefer his messages to be a little more subtle than having his name glaring at me from a computer screen like that when I'm not expecting it lol.

Who?? I don't think so. That pic is from the Ebony magazine photo-shoot that Michael did in about 2006/2007 to celebrate Thriller 25th anniversary.

Ok, sorry my fault then

Hey, no worries

You should play the lottery!

But seriously, any chance that the records of Mr. Michael Jackson reveal anything useful?

No nothing to reveal. It was just a dummy record that had been created, not real (sadly).
