the corner office

Just hopped onto my medical aid's web site to check up on a few things, and was prompted to update my personal details. My first reaction was to grumble, but needless to say, my home address and phone numbers were outdated, from where we lived (note to Sandy: I didn't say stayed :) in 2000. Since then we've moved twice.

It's quite odd seeing my old street address and phone number - especially because CMac asked me about an old phone number yesterday, and I realised that I couldn't even remember what my old phone numbers were. Strangely, I can remember our phone numbers from when I was a child (perhaps because in those days our phone numbers were 4 digits long?). However, in more recent years, it seems like I have space for a single variable, $HOME_PHONE, and as soon as I plop a new value into that variable, the old one gets forgotten.
