true prophecy
According to ancient Greek myth, when the god Apollo failed to seduce Cassandra of Troy, he cursed her with the gift of true prophecy, but with a caveat. Every prophecy she spoke was true, but no one would believe her.
If Cassandra of Troy lived today, I suspect she would work in an IT department:
“Back up your files or you’ll lose them! Don’t click on that ad or you’ll get a virus! Don’t put your social security number into that email form!”
And, of course, no one would believe her. 🙂

After working in IT for going on 20 years now, I attest that this is more true than people realize!
I have seen this more times than I can count.
