IAAP Ak-Sar-Ben Chapter Scribblings
Volume LXXI, Issue 92 November 2013
President’s Message What are you thankful for? This question gets asked often in the month of November. The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday reminds us to take time out of our busy schedules to think about all the blessings in our lives. Whether it is as simple as remembering to wear your badge to work or as impactful as being employed, having a grateful attitude can change the way you approach your day. At EFAM last July, keynote speaker Jill Farmer noted that it is physically impossible for us to experience fear and gratitude at the same time. Fear causes us to feel anxious, we lose focus and cannot be creative. We are problem stalling rather than problem solving. Gratitude causes us to feel calm, clear and connected to what is happening around us. It can turn a hectic morning of missing the alarm clock, breakfast and a shower, dealing with slow moving children, and navigating road construction into a productive day at a job we “get” to go to, doing work we enjoy (and are experts at), and coming back home to a house and a hot meal. What is hectic in your life? What causes you to stall out? November is a great time for Thanksgiving. It is the perfect time for us to pause at the end of the year, reboot our attitudes, and greet the holiday season and new year with a refreshed and connected energy. For the past ten years, I have been grateful to have the Ak-Sar-Ben Chapter of IAAP and its members in my life. The network of professionals and supply of information are invaluable resources for work related issues. The opportunities to build my leadership skills have helped me ensure stability in my career path. The friendships I have gained have guided me along an everchanging path. When I joined IAAP, it was because my supervisor thought it would be a good idea. I have stayed in IAAP because it continues to be a place for me CONNECT, LEARN, LEAD AND EXCEL. What in IAAP makes you grateful you stayed? A Blessed Thanksgiving,
Jennie Cormier, CAP/MOS President
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we
have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~Melody Beattie

How you start your day can make a difference whether it is a great day or just a good day. Attitude, of course, is everything! Attitude cannot be removed, only replaced, so we might as well just put on a happy face and start with a positive attitude as we approach the office parking lot. I find that being prepared to start the workday as soon as I walk into the office also affects my attitude. By spending a few minutes before leaving the office the day before, you can organize your thoughts and make a list of tasks for the next day. This enables you to start your day with knowledge of priority items that should be worked on as soon as possible. (Of course, as administrative professionals, we know that often other high priority tasks or interruptions may alter our day.) There are many systems for organizing daily tasks. Outlook has a Calendar and a Tasks section that can be used. Some people like to write out lists, prioritizing and marking off tasks as they are completed—perhaps “old school” but still fulfilling as you draw lines through completed tasks. There are also those who are “post-it” people, writing a task on a post-it note and discarding the post-it when the task is completed. Tickler files (with folders for each month and folders labeled 1 through 31 for each day) can also be useful tools for organizing, referencing and remembering items with future dates. Whatever system or electronic device you use to organize, just USE IT! If you do not know where you are going, it is going to be hard to get there! You have to start moving to get anywhere—so begin your journey through your day and see where you get to. You might be surprised at how successful and productive you can be by just starting your day with a smile and a plan.
December Chapter Meeting The Dec. 10 meeting begins with a short business meeting followed by the Annual Tea Cup Auction. Donations for the Adopt-a-Family community service project should be turned in at this meeting. Red Wheel orders will also be distributed at this meeting. A few reminders for the Annual Tea Cup Auction. Gifts should be in the $10-20 price range. Gifts do not need to be new, but should not be used. This is a great way to regift that ‘unique’ item in your closet! Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5 or 20 for $10. At the end of the meeting members will vote on a charity/organization to receive the proceeds. Come for an evening of fun and fellowship! Page 3
Smart Security: 7 Ways to Create Strong Passwords by Dawn Bjork Buzbee, MCT To gain access to many important areas, you need a password. Even though passwords are a necessity in our digital lives, many passwords are weak or insecure or too simple to figure out. Many hackers and intruders enter computer systems simply by guessing passwords or by using dictionaries and mathematical calculations. If a difficult-to-crack password was the only criteria, you might select a 20-character combination such as: *d9W>z&gY3k7![pS$f8R but would you ever remember this? It is important, then, to apply strategies for creating strong, effective, and easy to remember passwords. 1. Avoid the Obvious Don't make the mistake of creating passwords that are based on personal information, your login ID, or are simple to guess or locate. 2. Make It Longer One of the features of a strong password is that it is at least 8 characters in length and it should be a combination of mixedcase letters with the addition of numbers and punctuation, where allowed. 3. Vanity Plates How many times have you been driving behind a car with a vanity plate? Were the characters cryptic but easy to decipher? Have you seen these plates? CUL8TR (see you later) LV2XLR8 (love to accelerate) HAPE2GLF (happy to golf) Consider an easy to remember phrase that can be expressed without complete words and with a combination of mixed case letters as well as numbers and symbols: dRkCh0co4me (use a zero in place of the letter O) 1H8!meenPeepL LvT1meOfff# Have some fun making up combinations of phrases that have meaning to you but that would not be easy for other people to guess. 4. Song Lyrics Think of a favorite song lyric, TV show, book, or poem. The more obscure your choice, the better. Next, create a password from a combination such as the 1st letter of each word of the phrase. Some hacker dictionaries have common songs and phrases built in, and so, you will want to strengthen your password by adding in other characters or personalizing the song in some way. For instance: "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose," might become r1trNr2Xhavsn You want to avoid obvious geek phrases, of course, such as "Luke, I am your father" or "Beam me up Scotty." 5. Passphrases Choose 5 or more random words and string them together to create a nonsense phrase. For greater strength, use a downloadable program such as Diceware that helps to generate word combinations from your throw of multiple dice. 6. Blended Words String together 3 or more totally unrelated words by breaking apart and re-combining the parts of each word. For instance, combining the words SPOON LIME PUPPY might result in SPOLIPUPP. 7. Annoy Lurkers Do use a password that can be typed quickly, without having to look at the keyboard. This makes it harder for someone to steal your password by looking at your keyboard or mobile device (also known as "lurking" or "shoulder surfing"). Do not use keyboard sequences or characters found together such as QWERTY. These 7 strategies will enable you to choose and create strong passwords that will improve the security of your computer system.
