I watched this without volume, but I could still hear it.
If Heather is the one using the computer, why is the director of finance writing a support request for her? Or did she actually write it herself, using the name of the director?
Heather is probably a nepo baby and cant send an email.
Director of Finance: "Heather, why haven't you finished that finance report I asked for?"
Heather: "Uhhhhh, well. My screen has a picture of mustard on it? Sooo I couldn't do it?"
DOF: "That's ridiculous. Did you call IT?"
Heather: "Ummm, yeah, sure, but you know, they said they'd get around to checking it out."
DOF: "That won't do, I'll contact them for you, they'll listen to me on account of how important I am" (desperately hopes you acknowledge his "account" pun)
Heather: "Oh, well, okay boss, thanks" (dammit I don't wanna do that fuckin report)
What? Lmao
Heather told her boss and her boss is contacting IT
My work wallpaper includes a picture of a product called 8 HOT DOGS IN BRINE that @Trilobyte@feddit.uk posted a few weeks ago
Soon everyone shall know about a product of the gods known as 8 HOT DOGS In Brine
I'm looking forward to someone seeing it. Might have to fake an IT ticket
We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.
It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.
I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option
As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman's.
havent tried plochmans but i will. for emergency widely available mustard i typically recommend frenchs dijon (NOT the "chardonnay" dijon)--it's been so long i don't even know if they make it anymore, but it should say something like "our boldest dijon ever" on the label
usually i stick with colman's tins of just mustard flour and make it myself
There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.
That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.
Most restaurants make their ketchup with canned tomato puree. You can’t start there and expect to get a prizewinning sauce. Equally, I can’t get behind any store shelf bottles of ketchup. They all have this metallic taste to them. It’s just funny how universally picky people are about their tomato sauces, myself included.
Heather doesn't lock her computer when she walks away. Don't be like Heather.
It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked "Set as desktop background".
Which almost makes it worst. I mean I get the last part. Why ever she right clicked, she took the wrong option, fine. But how did she even end up on an image like that at work? What did she research?

Here's my new "you left your computer unlocked" image
We used to shout in the company chat about how much "i" love the company.
Very bad spanish sentences were fun too.
I think ours were about wanting hugs from pink butterflies.

Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.
This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.
If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.
What the hell! 😁
Well, there is a longer version of the video that provides some context. It seems the caller is either trying to access or host a website (possibly both) and it has gone down, so they called tech support.
The icon arrangement was apparently done spitefully to the remote desktop by the person the caller replaced and the caller simply became accustomed to it.
Beyond that, I cannot resolve your query.

Is that whats implied here? I thought Heather just went to her Boss to complain and the Boss called IT...
The bar at the top shows up in remote desktop connections
Could also be because they work in rds from thin clients
bottom picture could be IT POV checking what's wrong
Oh true i have seen that long ago. Very sus then.
Ghosts, she got ghosts in her drive
Don't bother them, they guard the Magic Smoke.
I couldn’t help hearing that as “Ghosts got in her drive,” to the tune of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.”
