Grandpa went back into hospital for nausea again, but is already back out because it was quick to treat. The dogs think that is awesome.
Also, the people at work have realised I'm not actually cut out for this job so they've let me reduce my hours. Seeing as I'm not paid for it, that doesn't result in my pay being reduced.

So, I forgot my password to a website, and used the forgot my password option. It took a while, but eventually it emailed me my old password. In cleartext.

That is not, in fact, the primary problem.
See, if they can mail me my old password in cleartext, that means they have my old password in cleartext. And also my new password in cleartext. Meaning that anyone who gets access to their database can read my password.

Security on the internet is terrible. I have first hand experience developing for Google. Two months after the project was publicly launched (as in, began working at taking money from customers) I've found out that you can enter into any account through the admin entrance without a password.name_here wrote:So, I forgot my password to a website, and used the forgot my password option.

I paid off my student loan today.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I had a scholarship that covered tuition and books and fees. It ran out because I changed my major and would have had to do another year. By then, I was hitting burnout and, well, tried a student loan for a semester.name_here wrote:/me basks in having a giant merit scholarship.
Five years later, that loan's paid off.
Don't think it can't happen to you, kid...

My son has an inner conflict that was summed up nicely by the process of choosing a Halloween costume.
He was going to be Superman - we already have a breastplate and cape (every kid needs a cape). But boys' superhero costumes are terrible things. They're cheap and make no sense ("Muscles on Optimus Prime?! That's ridiculous!"). I couldn't buy the pieces of a Superman costume without either spending a shitload, or just buying the whole damned thing all over again. At that point, why be Superman?
And thus it was that in the Halloween section, he found a totally awesome battleaxe with skeletons on it. It was love at first sight! He had to have that battleaxe! And then... He saw the delicious glitteryness of the girls' fairy wings. Torn between the world of deathly death and sparkly sparkles, what was the solution? Both!
And thus it was that Giovanni became the Death Fairy, the hug-ably ferocious character who steals your money, then kills you. "But don't worry, Mommi. I'm just a pretend Death Fairy. I won't actually do those bad things."

I still maintain that you are a strange one for picking that theme of all things O.o
Welcome, to IronHell.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

This is stupidly true. You need debt even if only one paid off every month in total otherwise their system treats you as an unknown (which is to say a risk). I had gone through life using a debit card/checks/cash only until like age 21+. No debts, paid everything on time, worked since age 15 through school and my wife had a better credit rating than me while she had outstanding debts.hyzmarca wrote:Quick, get a credit card and start charging.

In some places it works just as well to simply get a mobile phone on a stupid "pay every month" plan, and have that plan put on your credit card. Even if you actually put the money in the account before it's taken out so you never have actual debt. It's regular usage of the account which matters.
So after a while working on other things, I'm back on the library section posters. Currently 20 have Pokémon on them (I could go back and add them to others). And Cthulhu has snuck in, too :D

Stupid JC Penny doesn't carry blazers in my size. The biggest they carry is a 52, and I feel like Chris Farley wearing it... I need a 56.

I had this exact same problem the other night.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Also: I'm finding it remarkably hard to maintain good habits and lifestyle changes for more than a month at a time... Now that I have a life worth living I'd kind of like to live past 50 now and it's remarkably hard to change my bad habits from 30-odd years of not giving a single fuck about anything.
