Can you get your office to hire her as your temp assistant? That'll kill two birds with one stone. (imagine verboten winky emoticon here)

Heh - that would be a nice idea, but it would never fly here. Plus, the stuff I need help with is beyond basic clerical.

Actually, we just hired a gal to help with the filing/copying stuff and she is fantastic.

I just realized that I have done something UNBELIEVABLY stupid.

I recycle. Magazines and innocuous paper go in one bag, that I recycle curbside and documents with my name, address, account numbers or ssn go in another to be shredded and recycled at a center.

I just realized I put the bag full of my important secret numbers into the curbside recycling on Monday! I just handed somebody a "steal my identity Kit!"

I need advice! Do I cancel and change all my cards? what about my social security number, do I report that it might have fallen into the wrong hands? To whom?

Help!!!

quester - I wouldn't cancel anything just yet. But I would contact the credit bureaus to let them know info got out and out a watch on your reports.

Or, you could go out, spend all your money, run up your cards and then call your banks and cancel everything. :)

quester, put a fraud alert on your account at all three credit bureaus:

Equifax: 800-525-6285
Experian: 888-397-3742
Transunion: 800-680-7289

Dude. The world needs some painfully earnest songvids to Karma Chameleon. If only I could think of the perfect fandom for it... Xena?

Also? Spoldemort. Think about it. There could be shots of Spike's dreams from season 5; from Buffy's time-wonk hallucinations in Dead Things; Chip headache shots; shots from Seeing Red.

libkitty thanks for the advice!

I went to the pharmacy, the pharmacist said that the stuff in Unisom and Sominex is the same stuff that's in Benadryl and Tylenol PM. And he's right. Two Benadryl is the same as one Unisom.

I didn't get to the natural foodstore to see about libkitty's recommendation.

Also talked to Mom after work, told her about my money flub. She insisted on paying for my med copays and said if the shrink says I should take Ambien or something she'll start helping me out with that.

Right now as it stands if I take back the clothes and return the book with the money Mom gave me I'd be in a better spot than if I returned the dvd set. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep the dvd set, I'm going to think about it and be reasonable. I'll have Monday off, but can stay late and make up most of the hours.

Right now I'm going to have a rather light supper then take a bath with dreamtime and waving not drowning. and then go to bed.

Yes, this. It's remarkably helpful. When I thought someone may have gotten a hold of my Paypal info, I put one on my account and the next year or so I had to go through a lot of personal interaction when I was applying for credit. It's piece of mind.

Still at work - starting hour 3 of OT.

Oh joy.
