NUMBERS - a Cranky re-run

NUMBERS

This Cranky re-run Monday selection is from March 2012 

 

Today I had to activate a new debit card. I was asked my birth date, and the last four digits of my social security number.

My daughter called, she needed to know my address and my ZIP code.

I went to the gym and needed to remember the six numbers to open my combination lock.

I left the house to babysit for the two Crankettes. I had to set the house alarm with a five digit code, and then I needed a four digit code to open the garage door. I needed money for gas so I stopped at the Wawa and used my newly activated debit card to take money out of the ATM. This required a four digit code.

When I reached the Crankettes home I needed to remember my son’s garage door code to get in the house. I then had to dial up Mrs. Cranky to let her know I arrived safely.

They say to ward off old age memory problems you should exercise your mind every day. Today I had to remember and use eleven different numerical codes. In addition I needed a password to start my laptop, a login code and a password to access my Google account, a login code and password to log on to facebook, a login code and password to log on to twitter, a login code and password for my Optimum e-mail account, a login code and a password for my Yahoo e-mail account, a login code and password to access my banking account and a login code, a password and a “person number” (I KNOW!) to access my health insurance account.

Mrs. Cranky often chastises me for not remembering stuff. She makes fun of my senior moments. Today I remembered eleven numerical addresses or codes, seven logon codes, eight passwords, and one “person number.”

I think it is safe to say that….ah….I mean….huh.

Never mind.
