Password Assword

 Have I ever mentioned how much I hate passwords and the fact that everything on the internet that you look at that you have established yourself as an entity with has to have a password to be accessed. For some reason this just terrifies me and I'm surprised at how much I've allowed myself to be compromised into developing the password then using it all the time and then freaking out when I can't remember it. I'm currently trying to find my password for Consumer Cellular which I run my cell phone through. Sad as it is I don't remember what my password is to get into this account and more importantly to get into the account so I can listen to my phone messages. I haven't gotten years without listening to phone messages just because I can't remember my password. Earlier this summer I actually set up a password and now I can't remember it. I used it so few times that I never really memorized the silly thing. I'm currently trying to reestablish my password and you have to go through this weirdly threatening procedure through the consumer cellular network where they ask if you want to create another password. When you do this they send you a text message of some sort that allows you to go into their system and develop a password. When this happens I swear I'm going to write the word down so this won't happen again and for some reason I never am able to find the the password I developed and had written down so this would never happen again.


Sometimes this method works but most the time it does not and luckily Consumer Cellular also publishes an 888 number that I suppose I could call eventually and have them assign me a new password. I really feel this is something I should be able to do myself and not have to be so freaked out about having to set up a new password because the second I know that I set up a good password I lose track of the password and I'm back to square one. The last couple of passwords have used information from the Marvel Universe I'm trying to develop a password from the superhero standpoint. Something cool and Unforgettable that's what I'd like to use but sadly the second that I do it seems that I lose the password or at least the ability to use it. I'm not one of those points right now where I've got to figure out how to use my saved phone messages so I can get back to the people that need to get a hold of me. Today for example I was strapped to my arm bike working out but my phone rang but I could not get to it in time and it gave the little signal that whoever had called had left a voice message. It was a call from my medical clinic and I suppose it was trying to get some confirmation that I would be to a medical appointment coming up in the next week or so. But they just like to hear the client affirm there attendance. I had not gotten anybody by the end of the work day today so I'll try again tomorrow at least to find when the appointment is and which doctor it's with. Before I trapse all the way down to the hospital/ doctors offices I want to spend some time. Hopefully the doctor's office will call again as we get closer to the supposed time of the visit. But I just want to be able to have access to this stored messages file so I feel like I'm on top of things. And halfway confident about things in the internet…
