Shocked & Appalled

Random rants

Grrr. Yahoo. Grrr.

I have a pretty good Yahoo ID -- my initial and last name. I have a common last name (my maiden name anyway), which makes a good ID hard to get. So the other day, I attempt to log onto Yahoo IM from home, and it somehow goes screwy and rejects my password. I must have tried too many times to fix it, because it eventually tells me I need a new one. So, fine, send me a new one.

But I never get an email. I poke around, and it turns out its because the email address I have on file is really old -- my company has changed hands, and changed domains, several times since then, and that email no longer works. I go searching through Yahoo help again, trying to figure out how to change the email address, since I obviously can't have the password sent to my yahoo mail.

Today, I get email from Yahoo saying "ok fine, we're changing your address. Now, to turn it on, just log in with your password, and we'll make it official."

And around, and around, and around.
