The longest thread ever

I got an email this morning from my former employer, a purple themed university from which I retired, but retain an email address.
It was a notice of mandatory online cybersecurity training for things such as phishing. The email contained a link to an unknown URL, sort of like a phishing email would, so I reported it through proper IT channels.

It turns out that the email was legit. I just find it interesting that the email fit the criteria for emails that the training was warning about. :unsure:

Duke was doing this on purpose a few years ago. I don't know where it took you if you clicked it, but I reported it like you're supposed to and got a nice "atta boy!" from the IT people, plus some stats about how few people report suspicious e-mails, and how helpful it is when they do.

When I catch one at work I like to post the “congratulations. You identified the phishing attempt” screen grab to slack with the comment, Not today Satan!
 
Airlines. Do I have to say more? On Saturday I had a relatively simple problem with American Airlines, but despite 15 minutes of trying they successfully kept me from speaking to a human being, despite me hollering "representative" about 10 times.
I filled out one of their useless "complaint" forms, minutes later I got a completely useless response, basically saying sorry.

So today they sent me an email asking if their "representative" had resolved my issue. What can you say?
 
Senior kitty's new trick: get me to turn on the shower, get wet in the resulting water stream and the have me towel her off. And yes, rinse and repeat. 3 times this morning.
