Dear elected leaders:

So far today, I have:
- reset the clocks I missed yesterday
- presented multiple insurance cards to my dermatologist front office to be allowed in to have my semiannual Freeze Old Person Spots
- done at least one imperial-to-metric conversion in my head
- spent an hour filling out tax forms to report to you information you already have
- and it's not noon yet

All of these could should have been fixed a generation ago. Or two.

Any particular reason any of you should keep your jobs?

Asking for a friend, or maybe my grandchildren

Living in Arizona I don't have to worry about our clocks. Unfortunately the time change still bites me. I listed to a sports show back east and was waiting until it started at 8AM and then realized it had started at 7AM now.

Medical stuff drives me crazy. Every new doctor I visit I have to fill out countless forms. Why can't all of this info be online and I can just forward it to any doctor I wish?

My GP retired at 74 last year so this year is my initiation to new physicals/wellness exams. Well, let us say it is not anywhere as complete as my previous physicals.

Oh, I needed to schedule an imaging scan online (didn't want to wait on the phone) but I couldn't. It kept telling me I already had an account. I didn't know the password but every email address I use, when I entered it, the system kept saying "There isn't an account associated with that email address" :(

Enjoy
Rich
