This shouldn't be funny but damnit, it's funny.

I was promoted off the help desk several months ago (just in time to see all but one member of that help desk laid off about three weeks ago, I might add). Part of my new job responsibilities that I share with a coworker involve new user accounts and terminations.

When creating a new AD account, the standard format is the common first initial last name style. There are, of course, alternate formats; however, if the default's not in use we are supposed to give it to them.

I was just sent a request to create an account and mailbox for a Shannon Lavery.

I think I'll be deviating from the norm on that one...
