A digital misfit

I just tried to pay my BT phone bill online. Howcome this is difficult these days? For everyone else I make payments to I just find their sort code and account number and make the payment through my banks online system. Which I use enough that I can remember the password. BT, however, you have to use their site. But I logged in to that once, when I first enabled it three months ago, and haven’t used it since. So I’ve forgotten the password. And the user name. And the email address I gave them. Sure, its probably in an email, somewhere.

This rant has been brought to you courtesy of my lack of foresight in charging my shaver before starting the epic chin hack, I’m now somewhat resembling one of the bad-guys from a western, only more patchily shaved. Good job its not going to take too long to charge again…I was having horrible visions of forgetting and going to an interview half-shaven.

    • But they don’t print the details you need on the bill, saying that you need to go to their website, where you need to log in (I assume) to get to the useful information.

  1. Thats the obvious downside to the mail-alias-on-the-fly approach I take to handing out addresses. Thankfully I’m normally quite consistent about such naming, but sometimes it goes spectacularly wrong.
