I change our work access main password very often. Usually my objective is to amuse the staff. It is always some phrase that utilizes numbers and punctuation. If they don't amuse others they at least amuse me.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I haven't seen squirrels around here, which is odd, except that we have a couple feral cats still, and they may be keeping the squirrels away/under control.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I have a Dove chocolate wrapper taped to my monitor, but it says "Think of something that makes you smile," which is a great thing for me to remember.
Years ago I stuck a magnet to the back of a Snapple lid that said "Many a wrong step is taken by standing still." I still have it on my fridge. It was timely advice!

We don't have squirrels in my neighborhood. Maybe because we don't have a lot of trees? The area wants to be a marsh more than it wants to be a forest.

My grandmother was able to grow big beds of irises without any interference from the squirrels. (We couldn't get a single tomato to ripen before they made off with it, though.)

My work password had to be updated every six months. It had to have a non-alphanumerical character (!@# etc.) as well as at least one capitalized letter and one number. I just went up the keyboard changing the !@# etc. When I was fired I was on my third round.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Lee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My general password standard is to pick a word (say, paragraph), and then replace all the as with 6, . or *s, if punctuation is required and if both are required I get something like p2$2f$2ph, and that password will continue to be all paragraph related, just swapping out the replacement characters, and maybe the timekeeping password will be a similar set of variants on eternity,

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am a crazy obsessive person. I missed a call from the doctor's office with my cholesterol test results because Caller ID just said "Incoming call" (if there's no actual phone number/name, I let it go to voice mail, especially after 5:00). And who expects their doctor's office to call after 5:00? So I can call tomorrow to get the results.
But because I am crazy and obsessive, I've decided that "I would like to discuss your results with you" means either (1) Oh my god your cholesterol has gone up to 500 and your heart is going to explode right now, OR (2) Your cholesterol went down to 160 and we would like to give you a gold star for eating all that oatmeal.
I just can't decide which.
t edit It's probably more like "Hey, your cholesterol went down/up by 2 points. Way to maintain."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Late last year, our whole network here at work crashed. In the process of recovering it, everyone was issued passwords of random strings of characters. I found that the one they gave me was surprisingly easy to bang out on the keyboard, so I've kept it. Just change the numbers on the end.
That's really my main criterion for a password: how quickly can I reliably type it out? A good password can save you milliseconds in your day. Milliseconds, I say!
