There are days I wonder how some of the people I support at work manage to get out of bed and dress themselves without assistance.
We have a dedicated laptop and projector for use with company presentations. The laptop has a local account called Presenter. There is a sticker on the machine, right below the keyboard, that has that user name and its password clearly displayed.
I set up the equipment this morning for a meeting. I logged in and made sure everything was working properly, like I always do.
A half hour later I received a panicked call stating that they couldn't get into the system.
WTF?
The automatic screen lock (that I had to pull teeth to get approved, even though it's a HIPAA requirement) had activated and no one knew the password.
Seriously? NO ONE KNEW THE PASSWORD.
I walked into the conference room, pointed out that the password was right there in front of their faces, logged the machine back in and left.
It is now abundantly clear why our country is moving in the direction it is.
I can tell you must be a really patient man at home relaxed…at work you must be like the GPS these people use to cross the street.

It's why we call them lusers.
I think we are going to see the "Idiocracy" society during our lifetime.
