So secure not even the users can get in

It used to be oh so simple to log into the computers at work. You come up with a password for your file, log in and maybe every once in a while you were asked for a new password but you could keep your old one if you wanted. Not anymore, your asked every thirty days to change your password, it has to be of a precise number of letters and it remembers your last six passwords so you can't keep alternating them. It gets oh so annoying, especially when you've just changed your password then have to spend ten minutes the following morning trying to remember what you changed it to. Which is what I had to do this morning. Argghhh!! Well I guess it makes sense to some techie somewhere.

Well the announcement was made at work today, which although made a lot of customers very happy will probably upset a lot of staff as they won't be able to buy the range from us and get a staff discount. Well I suppose if they ring on Monday I suppose I could pass them onto one of the managers. It's not like the diversion manager, chief editor, direct sales manager, marketting manager and accounts manager are all going to be out of the office at the same time on Monday is it?..........

oh wait..... I might be in trouble come Monday I think.

I was invited to sit in on a planning meeting for forthcoming releases today which was very interesting. the only downside is hearing about these cool books which won't be released for another year. I want to read them now....

In the news today. Katie Holmes changes her hair style, Catherine zeta jones flies in for her grandmothers birthday, Ricky martins looks are fading, Rod stewart keeps an eye on the bill for a shopping trip, Anna Friel smokes and Billy piper gets a tattoo. Wow real fun life being a celebrity isn't it? You could almost think they face the problems regular people do........ wait a second!

Well it's the weekend now. Hopefully I can forget about work and get on with what I usually do at a weekend. Kick back and don't do much of anything that can be classed as constructive.

later!

Larry the Cable Guy is an American comedian...he hangs out with another southern comedian you may have heard of, Jeff Foxworthy (you might be a redneck if...) Ringing any bells...it's an american thing..and more specifically only southerners truly appreciate it.
