Isn't it ironic that there is really no such thing as privacy on the internet - yet you cannot get to your own stuff without knowing a zillion user ids and/or passwords? I mean honestly, every email you write at work is downloaded and saved for eternity and read by some techno geek with no life that works in IT and likes to read you flirt with your boyfriend at work or gossip with your girlfriends. Every time you buy something online you have to wonder if some thief smarter than you has figured out a way to steal your credit card number. But you - you want to get into your own bank account, your application at work, your blog, your email - what is your password? Wait - don't remember? Well hell - how can you - you have a ZILLION!! At work alone I have over nine. :| Honestly -nine? So how do I remember them all? I WRITE THEM DOWN. BRILLIANT SECURITY there you IT folks. **rolls eyes** Of course you can't just have a simple one - oh no - make one special character, one capital letter, one numberl, and don't use these five characters and make sure it's at least 8 digits long. WTF. I had to get google to remind me of this password just to write this blog tonight!! I miss the days of diaries with litte gold keys you used and kept in your jewelry box. More later - depending on if I can remember where I wrote this password down. :)
