Roland,

Check immediately to see if your Human Resources director is a
fluffy red cat wearing glasses.

If so, run before your tie begins to curl upward.

Or offer your services as a SAS guru to your company, at an absurdly
high rate (start at 1000 pounds per hour) and see just how incompetent
they are.
