I fear old age; at this rate it’ll be full of ‘awesome’ technological advances that only complicate life. Currently in order to do my job I must go through no less than 4 layers of usernames and passwords. These all must be changed every 60-90 days. You’re not allowed to use previously used combinations, which means I have to come up with new passwords each time. Then there’s the various other applications and webpages I must use, all requiring similar security. I’ve become so confused with paasswords that I now have them written down and saved in files.
I am fortunate to be an American with ‘health insurance’. I put that in quotes because it insures very little except that you need to be legally trained to understand their loopholes. Apparently my beautiful corporate company saved us money by choosing dental, vision, and health care from separate companies. I used my insurance card to call and request a vision provider. I was informed I had no such coverage. I fumbled around like my parents would explaining that I did and who should I call? Apparently the company that covers me.
You see, my fear is that if this is streamlining and making things simpler then what is the alternative? Now if I forget a password or number I’m locked out of my computer or job. If I forget to dot an i on an insurance form I receive a bill for hundreds or thousands of dollars. But what about 30 years from now? Will I forget one of my ten unique codes and be locked in my bathroom for life? At least maybe by then I’ll have a chip in my arm to make phone calls, ‘Help, I’ve forgotten and I can’t get out!’
It is 47 degrees out and windy, winter is clearly approaching. I contemplated wearing tights under my jeans this morning. My face burns from the frontal wind. But clearly I’m going about fashion and beauty all wrong. I realize this as two girls in booty shorts, bare white legs and boots pass me. You’re idiots. All the energy that your body is using to sustain a normal body temperature is obviously depleting the blood flow to your brain. You stupid, stupid girls. I don’t even need to punch your junk, it’ll soon be frost bitten. There’s nothing sexy about cold, red bumpy legs. We aren’t looking at you thinking you’re hot and seductive, we’re looking to see your stupidity on full display.
This is the second time that there has been another hearing and no answers for the Yale student murder.

And yet as usual we are pounded with the descriptive facts: where was she found??? what day was it almost for her???? Shut up! I know she was in the wall. Every single news story has mentioned that. I also know she was about to be married. But you Fox got it wrong. She wasn’t found on the day of her wedding, but the day prior to her wedding. God, don’t you read the news, FOX?
In fact, just stop talking about how pretty she was and how smart she was. Just give me the facts of what actually happened and the motive. It’s bad enough that the story got so much attention because of it being an ivy league school, but the whole she was so pretty bit is garbage. What would you have to write about then? God forbid you report real news…
