Passwords
I promise to follow up on Mr. Beerman's excellent discussion of work-related alcohol consumption, but I must first comment briefly on passwords.
I work for an IT consulting firm. In case you didn't know, IT consulting involves lots of passwords - too many passwords, in fact. This morning I took the time to count how many password I have. At present, I use 14 work-related passwords on a daily basis. I have another 9 or 10 that are for personal use. My work requires that I change my main password every 40 days (I think), and I did so this morning. And now, for the rest of the day and possibly well into tomorrow, I will incorrectly login with my old password. I've done it twice already; I hope to break twenty-three by close of business.
To make both of our lives more interesting, we shall play a little game called Password Hunt. To play, I will tell you my login information for some website, and it's your job to find out which one.

The first to login and tell me the website wins the grand prize, which is an appointment to The Recipe's forthcoming DC Society Desk.
