    Corporate password policies suck, but then again, you knew that already
                                        
Monday's expired account [1] was The Corporation work email account. Today's
expired account [2] was The Corprate Overlord Corporation email account,
which we only use to request vacation time.

The Corporation email account obstensibly expires after 90 days (but not
really [3]), while The Corporate Overload Corporation email account has a
different expiration cycle of either 45 days or 50 days (but probably not
really [4]; Bob of Technical Support [5] really didn't know). And it just so
happened that both cycles converged on my vacation [6] this year.

Sigh.

Also, while Bob of Technical Support could reset my password, I would be
unable to change it for the next ten days!

Really?

I'm stuck with a temporary password for at least ten days?

Sigh.
