I received my enrollment for my health insurance stuff after enrolling at work. Signing up for it was completely electronic though my employers web site, so I typed all my information. Now that I think of it, I don't think I even needed to type it in as enrollment was linked to my employee record in the database. In any case, it was all electronic. But yet, I receive my material today and notice something strange. While they got my address and last name right, they had my first name wrong. My membership card say "Guy Chang."

I'm insulted. I mean, if they were going to mess up a perfectly good name like "George," the least they could have done was at least give me some dignity. I wouldn't have minded if they made the mistake of calling me "Georgio," "Greg," "Gerald," or even "Cosmo" or "Geraldo."... wait, I take that last one back. Any other name would have at least given me some identity. But as it is now, I'm a "Guy." You know, the same referent for people you don't know but need a proper noun so that you can direct your message like "How's it going, Guy?" or "Nice shot, Guy." It would have been better to be named John Doe as no one ever says, "He's just some John Doe from the streets" or "Fuck you, John Doe!" Well, I guess I should be grateful they didn't give me the name of "Man Chang." Now that would have been bad, man.

(and to add insult to injury, I had this same insurance company when I was a child through my teenage years, so you'd think they might have looked at my Social Security number while they were at it to see if there were duplicates in the system. In the past, I was a "Sexy", "Handsome," "Smart," and even a "Nerd," "Geek," and "Dork," But I was NEVER a "Guy.")
