I just can't stay off the computer, it seems. I am now at work -- I will be stuck here until 6:30PM. I wanted to fit in working with my blog stuff, but I can't. Despite the fact that I've been working almost continuously and ardently on this, I can't remember any of the passwords for anything. I can't remember passwords. It is one of my biggest flaws -- you would think that something so small would have little impact, but it's huge.
In Jr. High school (which we called middle school), we had to use a combination lock for our PE (also known as gym) lockers. We didn't use other lockers, but we had one solely for storing PE uniforms and tennis shoes. Well, that was definitely tough. But it was one combination of three numbers, so it wasn't that bad.
In high school, we got regular lockers, and also PE lockers. Which meant TWO combinations to memorize. I had to resort to sharing a lockers with a pal, just in case. And during this time, e-mail and the internet started to boom, which meant I had to make e-mail and set a password for that. I had AOL then, and it was suggested that the user frequently change the password for security. And being a good follower of direction, I did. I tried. And I forgot my password frequently and had to write them down and tape it on my desk (beats the purpose of secrecy but oh well).
When I got off of AOL, I started to use Yahoo and Hotmail, and because of the amount of SPAM, I had to keep one that I used to contact people I actually knew, versus another one for signing up for things and newsletters and such, which meant that I had more than one e-mail and more than one passwords. Then I got a bank account, and the ATM card had a PIN, and I opened a savings account, and that ATM card also had a different PIN. Then I had a pager, which had a voicemail passcode, and later, cell phones which had voicemail passcodes as well. And now, I have my blogger and its password, and it's gotten pretty bad that since I can't get the same login name for every single thing I sign up for (i.e. e-mail, blogs, etc) I have to remember which login name goes with which password. And keeping track of that became especially hard. I have to login to everything frequently or else I'd forget it -- like online banking. I only use it when I need to, which is about twice a year, and I always forget the login name and pw for that!
Long story short, I have the passwords for the ftp and wordpress and etc. at home, so I'm ok. Bottom line though, is that I have gotten myself addicted to working with my blog, and I'm feeling weary and suffering from withdrawl currently because I can't get a hold of my blog. Well, at least I have this blog, but this blog is already done. Already complete. Already worked on. Already templated and laid out and written in!
Can I just say... I am beginning to miss WordPress?
