Walked around the contact center and said hello to a few more folks. And even had one that was a bit emotional. :)

Took the edge off having to deal with some of the aftermath of the credit card fraud, and changing so so so many passwords. Didn't realize I had so many passwords I needed to change.

Finally decided to change my password schemata. I've had one incredibly complex password I used for everything, thinking that it would be too long and complex for a brute force hack. But, as Tess said, that's not how they get those things anymore.

I'm now going through every password I have, and using a password vault for it, as well as 2 point verification where I can get it. Hopefully when the next breach, hack, whatever happens, I can minimize the damage.

And still SERIOUSLY considering going the tinfoil hat route, and going cash-only.

When I first started working at Nintendo, I'd come off a string of layoffs and engineered firings, and was actually having minor panics when it came time to swipe my badge. Four years of a positive work experience changed that.

Now I'm a lot more confident in myself. I've come off a string of bad jobs, jobs where I was confident enough to say "This much and NO MORE." Coming back, I'm feeling incredibly good - I can do the job, I've done it, I enjoyed it. I'm not panicking when swiping badges, or getting criticism.

My job ethic came from me on the constant worry that I would be fired if I was anything less than perfect. Now my job ethic is based on "I am good at what I do." I'm not the worrier or fretter I was before. And even I can see it.
