The Waiting 1. Last February, I noticed a rash on my arm, so I went to see my doctor about it. He didn't know what it was, but suggested that I go see a dermatologist. The nurse made an appointment for me at the closest possible date, which was in late July. Five months later, the rash was still there, so I kept my appointment with the dermatologist, where I was assured it was nothing serious. Some tests were done to confirm the diagnosis. Two weeks after that, I received a letter stating the diagnosis and instructing me to call for a follow-up appointment. I called. My follow-up will be in late November. You could literally grow a human being in your uterus in the time it will take me to get my stupid rash treated. I think we need more dermatologists in this town. 2. My workplace has an retirement investment plan that's a lot like a 401k but isn't. I like to forget about this plan, as it's best not to think about it but rather just let things accrue. But recently I wanted to check and see how much I'd saved so I went to the website and tried to log on. I couldn't remember my username, so I clicked on "Forgot your username?" and indicated that I did. Instead of emailing the username to me, the site told me that I would receive a physical letter containing the username within two weeks. Last Saturday, I got the letter. I sat down and tried to log in, but I couldn't remember the password. I tried every password I could think of, but none of them worked. It had been quite a long time since I'd last logged in. Sighing, I clicked "Forgot your password?" I'll be receiving my password in the mail within the next two weeks.
