A few weeks ago I decided to change my password on my account and make sure everything was safe and secure. I don't like to fiddle with this type of stuff and really it scares the bits out of me.
Things can go wrong in a bad way and they have before. I had an account for about 6 weeks prior to the one I have now and that was lost to an almighty cock up on my part. I am good at doing those things and if anyone is going to make an error it will be me.There is a silver lining though as I understand it now and being overly cautious is the way I work.
I changed my password in a sweat filled 10 minutes taking my time to do it properly with no errors.A few of you know what I went through as it was touch and go.I didn't want a repeat as I have nearly a year behind me now and starting again terrifies me.It is not the account value, but what my account stands for. I can't replace the time and effort that has gone into it and I am proud of it.
I suppose if it was worth $20 000 it would be even worse but money can always be replaced. Blood ,sweat and tears can't though and I think it means more because it is a piece of me. I think caring for what you do and how you do things is normal and having pride in what you have accomplished.
If I didn't care then there would be something wrong as we are all working towards the future and hopefully it will have some financial value behind it as well at some point. Right now though I am happy it is behind me and everything to look forward and hope I don't have to go through that again. At least now I have everything saved like I should.
