On one of mine I went for 3 months missing access to a critical tool. I sent a weekly request for it, and the dimwit handling them forwarded them on to a dead mailbox without ever doing a followup.

In her defense I was making more than her, it was probably hard to stay motivated to even show up, never mind do a part of her job.

most Canadians put on a happy front but are apathetic and simmering with rage. thats why the seal beating industry is so big.

amirite?

You're probably right about the apathy. But rage takes away too much energy better spent on hockey and staying warm.

at my previous job, they setup the network to warn you when you were within 10 days of expiring, to hopefully avoid hassles like that.

We get an email 15 days before password expiry just in case we'll be away from the office when it expires. I go in and change all mine early if I'm going to be on vacation. We have single sign-on for practically all apps and utilities (TACACS/Radius) so I only have to change it once.
