Nothing was wrong, I guess I'd just broken out of my usual pattern of purchases by grocery shopping, then Target, then Walmart (they are the only place that carries picky cat's litter) then BB&B. I'm sure it is an algorithm or somesuch, but it is alway amusing when I set it off. I'm soooo predictable.
I've gotten that, too. It's so funny -- they're all, "Um, miss, we wanted to let you know that someone used your card for XX at XX." "Oh yeah, that was me." "Oh, OK." Of course, when my card is ACTUALLY used fraudulently, no one calls me until the bill doesn't get paid. Der.
It's Bloomsday? That always seems to sneak up on me. Once again, I fail to arrange to have burning pork kidney and Guinness for dinner.
There was a blog that was posting a page of Ulysses a day. And it was totally digestible that way, but I missed a week about 20 pages in and lost interest.
How appropriate -- today's also a Thirsty Thursday here at work, which means free beer for Bloomsday!
Happies to Askye!
When my credit cards were stolen, one of them called me up (at home, where I wasn't) to notify me that something fishy was going on. The other didn't do squat. The good credit card company subsequently won more points by having a British dude on the line when I called them to say, Yes, I really hadn't charged $2000 in 5 different stores on a single day. He was very consoling.
Hey, that Dalek has been returned.
I bet the BBC is giddy as heck about that picture of the Dalek on Glastonbury Tor. "We can use that!"
Ahrg. If you go to the trouble of setting up a test system that isn't synched with the live system, do not then have part of the test system USE the live system. It won't work.
Speaking of credit cards and financial issues, I'm very frustrated with my online brokerage accounts. Due to the inability to update my trading level, then do to a flubbed up wire transfer, I was unable to make the trade I wanted to make last week. Would've made a 60% return today.
