For me a lovely cup of coffee consists of 1/3 of very dark roasted coffee, 2/3 of milk and a few drops of vanilla extract. It is the perfect harmony – unlike my morning today.
Today started with contacting my new university’s IT-support desk. I had activated my new e-mail a week ago, used it yesterday and today… was unable to log in. Or some may say, I had forgotten my password. This is certainly what the helpful IT-Michael was thinking about even when I was claiming over and over again that it’s impossible “after all my password is the easiest in the world”.
I also kept going on about how I can’t even reset my password because their system doesn’t work; I do know the answer to my challenge question! IT-Michael must have been rolling his eyes at this point and he friendly tried to ask me if it was possible that I had misspelled the answer. Well, of course not, it was a four-letter name – only a fool would misspell it!
After a few minutes I finally got a new password and was able to log in. When I went to see what the answer to my challenge question was, I decided that there’s a new name in the Finnish calendar now so happy name day Ennei!
After the short, and a little bit embarrassing, oops-moment, I decided to follow IT-Michael’s advice too and changed my world’s easiest password to the world’s hardest password… even though I’m not certain that it was the best idea. I have a feeling I will be talking to IT-Michael again the next time I want to log in…
