Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to re-enter it every time we make a new internet connection.

OMG, that would make me insane.

Oh, and I accidentally got Olestra chips with my lunch! I didn't think they still had those.

DH wants me to do a polar bear plunge with him this weekend. The man must be insane.

IT people seem to forget that one of the cornerstones of good security procedures is not making them overly burdensome. If the task becomes too onerous then the users will find ways to circumvent it and then you have an even bigger security hole. I'm betting that lots of folks on Megan's system have a list of 6 passwords written on a post it in their office somewhere and that they just round robin through them.

OMG, that would make me insane.

Yes, I was the only one that had to do that for awhile. And people here didn't understand why it was so frustrating... And then they got new computers with the new defaults.

I flat out told our IT person that my password was Password with a changing number and that, until I didn't have these ridiculous procedures, I wasn't planning on changing it.

Of course, with me, the bigger burden for someone trying to login as me would be spelling my name.

I won't even get into how insecure that type of user name system is. All some needs to do is get a company directory and they have everyone's username.

First you FCM the hokey pokey, now we are porning potato chips?

You know what comes next don't you? Salad shooters.

Muffalettas being too obvious since the name is almost porny anyway.
