And so the great summer T-shirt hunt begins. I found a perfect one but it doesn't have the city name on it :( - Meg Jun 3, 16:08 13
- I'm really tempted to get my stalkee one of these ... -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Jun 3, 16:28 3

someone in IT just sent me something asking me to respond with my username and password. - b. Jun 3, 16:07 11
- no way they should need it to do anything. Period -- nm - Karl_S Jun 3, 18:51 3
  - since he said data transfer, I'm thinking it's to let him do it at his desk instead of both of us staying at mine and having me sign-in, as needed. - b. Jun 3, 18:55 2

  - for us, it's a keys-to-the-castle thing - windows, outlook, bunch of single-sign-on sites. - b. Jun 3, 16:15 2
    - Maybe to back stuff up when you're not there? -- nm - iSpam Jun 3, 16:28 1
      - nope. he just responded that he will need it ahead of the actual data transfer. - b. Jun 3, 16:32
