Once again, I was planning to go in to the office this weekend. My password for my work account is expiring and I needed to change it. In the past, I’ve had problems changing my password while working remote on the VPN. Invariably, the password change would be fine on the desktop computer but would not stick on the laptop. IT told us in the past to bring the laptop to the office and physically connect it to the network using the Ethernet cable. That usually solved the problem but it’s a PITA if you’re a remote worker, as I am becoming.
I was thinking of going in right after dialysis (and after charging my car at a Supercharger) but I just changed my password using my desktop at work through the VPN and Remote Desktop. I then logged out of the laptop and was able to log in again using the new password. VPN and email still works so I think I’m good. This saves me 90 minutes of driving and the risk of getting COVID-19 in case some idiot coughed or sneezed around my desk.
BTW, we’re up to 102 cases of infection at our local work site. It’s slowed down a bit but crazy to realize that number was 47 on July 4th.
