User Description

I know your password. You cannot hide.

One day at work I found myself creating a User Account for OoRah on one of our servers.

For those who have never had the joy, creating a User Account on a Windows computer really isn't all that hard. There's a field for his login name and password, and a few other options. One of the optional fields is "Description". Being the consummate professional I am, I know that the "Description" field provides valuable additional information about the user (in this case, OoRah) and his level of access to the server. It is very important that I be accurate, concise, and fair.

I considered all of this, and then typed "Large, Bulky" into the Description field.

I'm just big-boned

I called OoRah over to my desk so he could type in his password. He saw how I described him and shrugged. "That works for me," he happily said.

I checked the box that said, "User cannot change password." "What?!?", OoRah said in mock outrage. "You mean I can't change my password?"

"If it's any consolation, I'm about to add you to the Administrator's group."

"Whoo-hoo!"

I gave him one last piece of advice. "Just try not to FDisk anything."

OoRah gave me a blank stare. I pretended to be surprised. "Did I just show my age?", I asked.

OoRah's blank stare did not improve. I chuckled and turned away. Let him wonder.

He can Google it if he really wants to know.
