Secure this!

I was amused to read a recent announcement at work about the new highly secure passwords for the employee information web site. The new password protocol requires upper and lowercase letters, special characters and numbers
From now on instead of remembering that my password is my mom’s name or the address I lived at when I was in college I now must generate a super secret password.
Of course that new password is not something that I use every day so I will forget it, as will most people. So to remedy the possibility that terrorists may find out my vacation balance, I, like everyone else, will write our password on a scrap of paper and put it in our desk drawer. Security achieved.
I only can imagine the day when there will be a highly secure password needed to open my desk drawer.
