My employer changed health insurance companies effective January 1 of this year. (This in and of itself might be seen as at least "mildly" irritating, but anyway.)

Today I logged in to the insurance company's web site for the first time. I was required to select three security questions--two off a standard list, and one that I completely made up.

One of the ones I chose was the name of my first school. My initial answer was rejected due to the use of a non-alphanumeric character, namely a period in the abbreviation "St." Well, that shouldn't be much of a problem... how many schools can there be named after St. Somebody Or Other?

My made-up question involved a particular characteristic of one of my pet cockatiels. Or should I say, cockatiels. It was rejected on grounds that the question contained profanity.
