My only thought is that to measure to get shot a computer probably would have to have fallen on your leg, requiring amputation, or the virus would have had to have infected you. Not trying to minimize the pain that it must have been, just saying... That sounds like a pretty terrible last day.

IT jobs are pretty safe, unless you have to lift up a CRT monitor. But you don't want a virus infecting all PC's in your installation. That would mean hours of cleaning up each PC ( there were about 5000 ) and irritate each and everyone of these people. But that's exactly what happened to me, an IT guy, on my retirement day. The whole department (300 people) were mobilized and organized in to teams, and assigned areas to clean up. What a mess. I didn't stick around to find out who actually brought in the virus. And thank heavens, the retirement lunch was off too. I didn't have to give a speech. This happened to me the day I retired.
