Stupid vent, but annoying nonetheless...

After getting home from my name-change-across-the-state trip yesterday, I started making calls and going online to change my information everywhere else.  What's annoying the crap out of me (before you judge, remember how anal I am) is that for a lot of websites (credit card websites, especially) they don't allow you to change your username.  Of course, when I set up all of those usernames I did first initial + maiden name + numbers.  So now, on top of having to remember that I have a new last name (it's a lot harder than I thought it'd be), I have to remember that some websites have a username that contains my maiden name while others have my married name.  It's like my identity is in limbo and it's driving my anal-retentive self nuts!

    why not just leave them all instead of changing some and not others.  That is what I did so I don't have to worry about remembering which are which.

    Because by the time I got to the ones that I couldn't change I had already changed quite a few and I don't want to go back and undo everything I already did.  It's not so much that some usernames are different than others that bothers me, it's more that some have my maiden name despite the fact that my last name has changed... if that makes sense.
