It has happened to most of us. You open the e-mail that changes your life and turns your workplace upside down. It is the notice that you must change all of your passwords. Higher ups say this is good for security, mix things up a bit. I think it's an intelligence test. For a week nobody can get into anything because they can't remember their new passwords. Productivity stops and a fresh batch of creative expletives is introduced into society during the transition. I have found a way to deal with this that does not require leaving yourself post-its with your new passwords. I am writing down clever vanity plates and using them as my passwords. They are the perfect combination of numbers and letters arranged with great wit ensuring that I remember them. It's survival of the fittest out there and employers are finding new ways to cull out those of us who may not be so sharp. They know we are here so we must adapt quickly. Sometimes the most effective solution is the simplest. The answer is right in front of you...at the red light. RSTONE could provide access to files you will need in order to continue feeding your family. Your gainful employment is secure if you take just a second to jot down someone else's license plate. Take a quick moment away from texting, eating, drinking hot coffee and applying eye make up to assess your surroundings during a lane change and take note of the vanity plates around you. I mean WYNOT? IAML8 already. A GUDGRL like me just needs some inspiration!
