Recently, I’ve been denied login access on the RISD computers because it does not recognize my user name. Infuriated, I came up with several different explanations for their denying me access, one of which even went so far as to say the computer was racist.

For some reason, I had the notion that my user name was “achang2.” This is probably because at Brown, my username is “achang1.” (Yes, the “1.” Long story.) Well, it hit me a few minutes ago that my user name is achang02. Moral: I’m an idiot.

I stand by my notion that are too many Amy Changs, and way too many A. Changs in this world, in this state, and even on this damn hill! Perhaps if I had some complicated name like Clementine McPheersonelope, life wouldn’t be as complicated, but I’d probably get a lot of shit for my name. And I’d be Greek? Or maybe an Indian name like Meira Swaminathan (no Google results! Take that, India!). I’d probably also get the e-mail address I actually want, without having to add unnecessary letters or numbers to the end.
