Piggybacking tangentially off of Tim Mitchell’s (blog, Twitter) SSC editorial Turn a Bad Job into a Good Experience…yesterday I got some user questions about the department’s new password policy. The policy is admittedly complex, especially considering half the place had been using the “kid’s name and ‘password’ scribbled on a post-it” philosophy of security. And, the new policy had been explained with a series of densley-packed PowerPoint slides.
So, I did what any good DBA would do: I cannibalized my comic strip into a The Oatmeal-style cheatsheet:
Sometimes, you gotta make your job fun, and you get to be useful at the same time.
Happy days,

Thanks for the mention, and nice job working the word tangentially into the mix.
NP Tim. And “tangential” (and its derivatives) is probably my favorite non-swear word.
