Their IT Request Is Mount Doomed

(My company requires access to another entity which has their own user account requirements. I and three others were granted access in about a month’s time… but those other three people either left or let their accounts lapse. I’ve been trying for six months now to get other people access but I’m still the only one with access at this point.)

Program Director: “I see you sent an email out that I was cc’d on about getting our guys access. On the subject line you said this was a ‘User access quest.’ Did you mean quest or request?”

Me: “Considering that it took Frodo about six months to travel from the Shire to Mount Doom, I think we can safely classify this as a quest.”
