Minor, Yet Horrifically Anger Inducing, Irritants #1

Logging on to the work network some mornings, this message comes up:

"Your password needs to be changed in fourteen days time. Do you wish to change it now?"
No I fucking don't! 14 days away? So what? Why not tell me when the password actually needs to be fucking changed, rather than a whole frigging fortnight before I have to do anything? Every time this fucking message turns up it wastes perhaps a whole second of my life because I have to click on the "No" button. A valuable second that I could have spent doing, you know, something else. Something very brief, mind.

I suppose I could just calm down and change my password when the warning first comes up. But where's the fun in that?

    It is to cope with someone off on a fortnights holiday, allegedly.

    I hate the one that tells me I have to be authorised to log on, every bloody time.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
