Because of the sensitive nature of some of the documents I work with, I am required to use a VPN token number whenever I log into my computer from home.

Note for those who don't know what VPN is: VPN stands for Virtual Private Network allowing access to networked files, etc. It also provides extra security against hackers for the information flowing to and fro from my fingertips.

Anyway, the token number is random and refreshes every sixty seconds.

Todays token number started with 666.



Though I'm not superstitious and don't buy into that whole scene, I did chuckle to myself momentarily about being a sign of a bad day to come. About five seconds after this happened I heard, "Oh NO!" coming from hubby. I went to the bedroom to see what was wrong, and he was upset that one of the collar buttons was broken on his button down shirt.

As I was standing there, he got another shirt and then looked at it cursed. Apparently there was a stain on it (Darned dry cleaners!) I told him I'd sew a new button on his shirt so he could wear it to work today and I'd get the stain out of the other one later on today. No worries.

He put on his now fixed shirt and headed out the door saying, "Gee, I sure hope the rest of my day doesn't go like this morning".

I didn't have the heart to tell him about the [insert doom music here] 666 on my VPN token.

Muah ha ha ha ha.

Update!: The Hubs just called. The sandwich I packed for him? Had a coupon in the middle of the meat, his facility (he's the top dog) lost some containers (the big ones, that hold tons of shipment) and they have to pay a per diem until found), and his customers that are flying from back East are late.

OK, I think I'm going to shut down my computer and restart with a new VPN number.

...not that I'm superstitious, mind you...
