If you’re actually looking for a reasonably good excuse, you won’t find it here! Nope. Why do I suck at blogging? Because I’m a moron. Because I forgot my password. Because I don’t have time. Because I see the link in my favorites and I start to convulse with guilt for not blogging, which puts me off blogging even more. Because I have committment issues. I’m just a terrible blogger, but it’s okay! I’m turning over a new leaf! Mostly because I’m incredibly bored at work. And pregnant. And I have absolutely nothing better to do!
What I want to talk about today is something that’s very near and dear to my heart. Passwords. Yes, passwords, my friend. As I struggled to remember my wordpress password, it triggered quite a few thoughts in my generally empty brain. Why do we have to have passwords on almost everything? Why?
I thought about it. Between work, home, and my bank information… and cell phone… I do believe I am supposed to remember at least 60 passwords. At work, every single spreadsheet that comes onto my desk is password protected. In order to access them, I first need to open my password protected email inbox. That’s only after logging into my personal account on the work computer, which of course… is password protected.
I cannot change my outgoing voice message at work without remembering a password. I cannot make a debit transaction without a string of random numbers. I cannot blog, type, email or do anything without a freaking password. I’m sick of it.
The worst is this new trend that lets you know that your password sucks. “OH, you need to have upper & lowercase letters as well as numbers and symbols in order to make it uncrackable”. Fuck you! I don’t need you to tell me that my password is not very strong. It’s not strong because when I make it strong, I cannot remember it! Perhaps the solution would be to make a spreadsheet of all of my passwords and then password protect it? That helps.
In other news, my life is going well. Kids are good. E just turned 7. We spent a week in Myrtle Beach and didn’t die. Mother-In-Law has been informed that she’s going to be a grandmother. She is actually thrilled! Mr. W is the same, as am I. Just bored, tired, and yet… we have no free time. Go figure! I’ll be back sooner rather than later, if I can just remember the password that I reset this time.
