Unlike every other business, they don't assign the account number to the person. Instead, they assign the account number to the service, so they generate a new account number for each different service I have. The mind boggles.

This is no consolation at all to you, but I'm just this minute taking a break from beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why we don't have better data on medical services at small clinics in a developing country, so it is some consolation to me that the US also doesn't have this figured out.

At our hospital, you the online system doesn't even allow you to see how much you owe. You log in, put in the account number on your bill, and then type in how much you owe yourself? It is pretty strange.

My name would be Hanna, which is nice, I think. My 1990's name would be Baby! My 1970's name would be Pearl which is weird, because wouldn't my 1970's name be my name? Since I was born in the 1970's? Also, my grade school nemesis was named Pearl.

This Time piece lets you determine what your name would be if born today, based on the rank in popularity of your name when you were born:

So I was all ready to make my case for why mine is wrong, because I have a much less popular version of a super-popular-at-the-time name, but then what I got was "Lesly," and sure, I guess.

wouldn't my 1970's name be my name? Since I was born in the 1970's?

That's so weird! They say my 70s name is Kellye -- I wonder if they are doing something more subtle than just giving the same rank, because your name and Pearl kind of go together? I've got nothing on Sue and Harper, though.

Huh, I can't find "the following interactive" and I'm so curious what my results would be.

Biked to work! It's Bike to Work Day, so. But I made it! All of 2.4 miles, but includes a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks and crossing highway 12, so kind of an adventure. Not sanguine about getting home, but after working all day maybe that will be more appealing...

Zero! I owe zero dollars!

I assumed the specific name was for the year of birth, but then the decade's rank would be different.

As a color-color, no. As a hair color, yes. I think of platinum as a blonde hair color, and this is really the metal color.

Ah, thanks. I meant the haircolor - I don't think I've seen it. The closest I've seen is pictures of Kelly Osborne when she had like a gunmetal gray color going on - can't say I cared for that but it was a dull and blah color and silver sounds shiny and pretty.

If I changed my name to Sue, I got Mikayla for my now name. And the 2000s name was Micaela.

If I were born today, I would be Cole. My 2000s name would be Gerardo, which I consider amusing because it was my name when I took Spanish I in high school.
