I didn’t realize how much of my time would be spent this week resetting passwords. Not network passwords, passwords to the Postini email quarantines.

I didn’t realize how many people had done that, and now have no idea what their password is.

    It’s been a pretty busy work morning, between figuring out why the backup didn’t run last night (turned out to be my fault, you really gotta be careful when you change the scripts to account for a schedule change so that you remember to change them back later! Go figure!) and helping correct some database…
