"Melissa". (Google hint: "Virus".)

Given the brazen stupidity demonstrated by these decision makers in the
face of *internationally newsworthy* plain facts to the contrary,
this may be a "brush up the resume" situation. Life's short.

Good luck.

More constructively, see if you can convince your VBA installation to run
on Javascript(/Jscript) instead of Visual Basic. While it has some
annoyances next to Python, by and large it should be a much more tolerable
choice. It's not Python, but it's surprisingly close in a lot of ways.
