Hey... you know... you know that thing on the computer that you have for a Windows computer where when it's part of a network (that's computers that are all plugged into each other using a complicated plug so each computer has about one-thousand cables coming out of it to plug into all the other computers) how you have a password?
OK.
So what it is confusing me and this is something that has been confused to me for many years now yes since I was just a young contractor but what I'm talking about is how you have a password, OK?
OK.
You have this password and then sometimes the network administrators (those are the people who act really angry all the time because they don't like it when people ask them questions about computers because they don't actually know anything about computers they just know how to eat pizza and say "The problem must be on your end" and try to make everybody else feel like a computard) but you know how they make you have a password and sometimes they want you to change the password because they think that it's safer for you to have fifty sticky notes on your monitor with your passwords written on them so that you can remember all your passwords that you have to have because of the network administrators and they think that's safer than just letting you use the password "dog" for all times which is good and has worked for me all these years and I sure can't complain, but.
My point is that when you have these passwords then sometimes the computer makes a "window" at you and the window is all "Your password that you have is the going to expire in 47 days and I the Computer says that you should think about changing it now" and then you look the computer square in the eyeballs and you say to it with human language:
WHAT'S THE POINT OF AXING ME FOR CHANGING ME MY PASSWORD EVERY 120 DAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO START PESTERING ME TO CHANGE IT 100 DAYS BEFORE THE PASSWORD EXPIRES? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST START WARNING ME, LIKE, 3 DAYS IN ADVANCE OR SOMETHING INSTEAD? DID YOU EVER DID THE MATH HERE? IS IT YOU CAN'T SEE THE PROBLEMS THAT IS STARING YOU RIGHT IN YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR FACES?
HEY NETWORK ADMINISTRATORS - I'M TALKING AT YOU - HOW DO YOU NETWORK ADMINISTRATORS BELIEVE YOU WOULD FIND THE JOY IN IT IF THE GRIM REAPER CAME TO YOU IN HIS CARRIAGE AND WAS ALL LIKE "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IN 2,845 DAYS BUT WOULD YOU MAYBE LIKE TO DIE NOW INSTEAD?" AND THEN YOU'LL BE ALL "NO GRIM REAPER I WANTS TO DIE IN 2,845 DAYS" BUT THEN THE GRIM REAPER COMES BACK THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND KEEPS ON AXING YOU THAT STUPID QUESTION AND YOU'RE ALL TIRED OF IT BECUASE YOU'RE SCRATCHING YOUR DANDRUFF HEAD AND THINKING TO YOU, "WHY ISN'T IT THAT THE GRIM REAPER COULD JUST COME AND GET ME WHEN I'M THE DEAD OR AT LEAST, OH, THREE DAYS FROM MY DEAD?"
YEAH. PONDER ON THAT CHUMP CHANGE NETWORK ADMINISTRATORS.
OR MAYBE YOU RENTED YOUR FAVORITE HOLLYWOOD FILM AT THE BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO AND YOUR FAVORITE FILM IS THE MATRIX BECAUSE IT'S YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR WET DREAM TO WEAR GOTHY LEATHER COATS AND SHOOT IN SLOW MOTION AND THEN WHEN YOU ARE SITTING DOWN WITH THE LOVELY WIFE AND YOUR POPCORN THEN BLOCKBUSTER CALLS YOU UP AND IT SAYS, "HI DAVE (IF YOUR NAME ISN'T DAVE THEN IMAGINE A DIFFERENT NAME HERE LIKE MIKE OR HANK) YOUR VIDEOS THAT YOU LIKE ARE DUE IN ONE WEEKS BUT MAYBE YOU COULD THINK ABOUT BRINGING THEM HOME TO BLOCKBUSTER EARLY OK?" AND YOU ARE ALL "NO I DON'T THINK SO I HAVE TO WATCH THE MATRIX AND THEN GO ON SLASHDOT AND TALK ABOUT HOW I'M ALL DOING SETI@HOME AND FINDING THE ALIENS AU REVOIR JERK."
SEE? WOULD YOU BE LIKING THAT? NO I WASN'T THINKING SO.
SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD BEGIN TO THINK UPON WHY YOU WOULD INFECT US USERS WITH A FATE OF THE PASSWORD EXPIRATION THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU DID WITH THE GRIM REAPER AND ALSO THE MATRIX EXCEPT THAT I'M NOT AS MUCH OF A DORK AS YOU ARE.
YOU ARE SO POANED.
