There is an interesting thing that has been happening for the last several months at my work.I have a program on my work computer that is used to track purchases I make from one of our parts suppliers. In order to receive certain incentives from this company I must spend a minimum of $1000 per month from them.The way I monitor my current months spending is by using a dashboard on their website that displays my totals.What started to become interesting was that, on occasion, when I would go to the dashboard to check my spending, certain numbers would show up as my total. Numbers that were not anywhere close to what my spending actually was. The numbers were $666.66.This would appear from time to time on my monitor, and then I would check back a little later in the day and the correct total would be displayed. I really didn't think a whole heck of a lot about it to be honest. I assumed they were default numbers that would appear if there was something goofy in the system. This actually went on for several months, until one day, the salesman for this company stopped in for his weekly stop and he had a representative from the bigger company with him. As I chatted with the company rep I went to their website and clicked on the dashboard, revealing the $666.66 total that was displayed.This was nothing unusual for me to see by this point, but since the company rep was standing right there, I showed him the display. I joked to him that the person that created this program must be a Satanist or something. I said that if that wasn't the case, the computer might be haunted. Well, the rep said he personally knew the lady that created and maintains this program, and that later that day he would call her and find out what is going on.
Now comes the fun part!
The following day I received a phone call from Brenda, the computer programmer.She relays to me that the rep did indeed call her the day before and clued her in on what was going on.She is very nice to talk to, yet came across as being nervous and somewhat upset as we spoke. Brenda explained to me that she was kind of freaked out because $666.66 was NOT a default number in any way, shape, or form.She said there was no way that should be happening, and, as a matter of fact, it was not possible that these numbers were appearing in this manner. She said she knows this, because this is her program. Yet there they were. Brenda was honestly frightened and uncomfortable with the entire situation. She said she was going to investigate deeper and would call me the next day with more information. Well, the next day she did call back, and still had no explanation for the Hellish numerals that adorned my dashboard.
It still happens. To this day it still happens. Not all the time. Just once in a while. I click on my dashboard display and there they are, staring me square in the face. $666.66.
I'm not sure what it means.Probably nothing. I'm reasonably confident that it is just a glitch in the system, a "ghost in the machine." I'm not even trying to say it might be something odd, or paranormal.
But Brenda isn't so sure, and who am I to argue?
