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.
I should have anticipated that this would exist.
Pretty much what I think whenever stumbling on any relatively unknown kink or fetish. The limits whack behavior caused by ape horneyness mixing with psychological complexes knows no bounds.
I always think ive seen it all, yet somehow the internet occasionally shows more.

If you haven't, please watch the original, full video! It's hilarious from beginning to end...
I have - I think seventeen years ago, in fact. I do remember enjoying it, but I missed a lot (I was barely into my IT career and didn't even know what Boing Boing was, for example). Should probably rewatch it. Thank you for the link.

The bar at the top shows up in remote desktop connections
bottom picture could be IT POV checking what's wrong

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".
Happened to me previously several times. I find it crazy to even have this option in the context menu.
It's up there with "Send image as email" which I suspect like 5 people have used in the last 20 years

And this is why we have a GPO that locks the background to a corporate image.

Here's my new "you left your computer unlocked" image
My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.

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.
That font in the signature, the fax into, the mustard!!!
... and last but not least, how the icon placement accentuates the natural curves of that mustard bottle ...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ctrl + Alt + Down
Now your bottle is ready to dispense delicious mustard
Only on laptops with Intel graphics where IT hasn't deactivated the unnecessary utility that comes with them.
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.
Microsoft removing CTRL - ALT and arrrow to turn the screen is a crime.

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.
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.

Are mustards in America classified by their colour instead of French, Dijon, English, Blow-Off-The-Top-Of-Your-Head, etc?
They're labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called "yellow." It's smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

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?
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
Heather is probably a nepo baby and cant send an email.
