note to self...

never create a security question for an answer that does not exist.

so here's what happened:

i forgot my password to my kaiser account online. i thus proceeded to answer 3 security questions in order to retrieve this password. the first question came along...easy! second question...oh yea...got it! and then the stupidity of bellamay showed face as i read the third question.

"what city were you married in?"

first thing that came to mind: wow bellamay, you are an idiot. you're either married and don't know it or you're just very very dumb in a way where you think you're very very clever.

anyways, in my attempts to come up with some mysterious city, i failed. it was after about the 3rd or 4th try when my account locked. the site then informed me that i had to call customer service. now here's where the embarrassing part happened, i called customer service. at first it was a machine asking me to verify info and then in kaiser's oh so caring way, a person was available to assist me with my problem. the guy also asked me to verify info and then proceeded in asking me my security questions, as if i didn't already try that.

long story short, he asked me the third question and thus one of the more awkward conversations of my life begin. basically he chuckled to himself quietly when i didn't know what city i was married in. i noticed the chuckle because he replied to my confusion with a sarcastic tone, "you can't remember where you got married? can you even think about a place you would want to get married?"

"no...no i can't." i said this, of course, in my most blunt tone...hoping that he would move on to the next solution of retrieving a password.

eventually, after he asked me several more times to try and think of some city, the conversation moved on. and alas, i shall be receiving my needed information in due time.

i later told fran and my dad the story. my dad immediately asked if the answer was Chicago. of course, i'll never actually know if that was the answer, but part of me thinks it is. because like i said, stupid bellamay always tries to be clever. and chicago is the city my parents got married in.

the end.

oh and today, i had lunch with a high school friend i haven't seen or really talked to in over 2 years. it's nice to have those friendships where time doesn't really matter.

the end of the end.
