Or maybe NewMexiKen is just getting too old. It used to be I couldn’t remember all the passwords. Today I was editing my password cheat sheet and I found I couldn’t even remember what some of the passwords were for.

I think it is unfair to your reading public simply to assume that everyone knows what a “password cheat sheet” is. I mean, I am married to the elder official son of Newmexiken; therefore, I am intimately familiar with the so-called “password cheat sheet.” Having such a thing is merely one example of the highly organized, marginally obsessive streak that pervades the Newmexiken family. I just thought I would write in and let people know that a “password cheat sheet” is where one has actually written down passwords for things that require passwords in the event one forgets said passwords. That kind of compulsive behavior, um, I mean, “effort” certainly deserves recognition.
Hey, I’m part of the Newmexiken family and I am the least obsessive of all of them. But, even I keep track of my passwords. However, unlike my father and eldest sibling, I keep my passwords in my rolodex. Amazon is under A, etc. When I asked my husband if he would ever think of creating a “password cheat sheet,” he admittedly said no. But he didn’t look at me like I was crazy.
Well I’m one of NewMexiKen’s official brothers and it never occured to me that there would be people that don’t have some kind of password cheat sheet.
I don’t know what you people are talking about…obsessive. I’m NewMexiKen’s official eldest daughter, and I don’t have a password cheat sheet.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to placing everything on the desk at perfect perpendicular angles.
You think she’s kidding . . . I’ve seen her desk.
One of my favorite things to do is move items in her house just slightly and wait to see how long it takes for her to notice.
The youngest member of NewMexiKen’s family will not sit in a chair holding any toys or books (she cleans it off first) and regularly walks around the house picking up any lint she finds and giving it to her parents. On her most recent visit to the library, she straightened the books in the childrens’ section and pushed all the chairs so they were in their places around the tables — then she read the dictionary. Think it runs in the family maybe.
Neither of my parents was this way. I blame it on ten years of Catholic schools.
So, it was a learned environmental behavior for you. Did it morph into a genetic trait somehow? Why would your grandchildren be like this because you went to Catholic school? I doubt any of them have stepped foot in a Catholic school. Weird. 🙂
My daughter most definitely did not take after this particular NewMexiKen behavior. She hasn’t seen a day in two and a half years where she feels the need to put her toys away. She prefers the use-and-drop-wherever-she-is method of organization.
Catholic school, huh? I attended six years of catholic school and all I learned was to be afraid of rulers.
To be fair and put blame where blame is due, I think we got this gene from both sides.
Having once worked (happily!) for NewMexiKen, I can vouch for Jill coming by her orderly desk honestly.
I started a password cheat sheet once… then I lost in in my computer somewhere. sigh…
You may be appalled to know that the Official Newmexiken Eldest Niece uses the same password for everything – I know radical notion and not necessarily the safest – but I don’t need a cheat sheet!
Ah, I am the official Newmexican eldest sister. I too like the eldest niece, only use one work for passwords. However, I don’t need a cheat sheet either.
