Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

ChiKat, did you ever figure out how she got your info?

Not yet, the detectives are still investigating. My purse was stolen about 3 years ago and they think it may stem from that.

Do you know what triggered the store people to doublecheck?

It was unusual activity for me, too. She didn't have my Nordie's card, but had the cashier pull it up using her/my driver's license and my SS#. The cashier saw that I had NO activity on my card, and now here "I" was trying to buy 2 watches for over $3400. The cashier alerted the store's fraud dept. who called me at home and that set the ball rolling.

To bring this full circle, the cops found a business card in the chick's purse with my SS# written on the back of it. The business card was from someone who worked at Neiman Marcus.

d they may need me to appear at the hearing, but don't know yet.

probably waiting to see if she pleads guilty. Otherwise you have to show up and say "yes, I am me and I have been me for ___ years"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Creepy! I do totally think it's all employees in a crime ring.

Actually, with all the evidence they have on her, they're waiting to see if it even goes to trial. They suspect there will be some sort of plea and no trial.

Otherwise, yep. I'm me, she's not. I've always been me, she never has. I have never met her so there is no way I could have given her my information. She stole it. She's a thief.

What is even happening?

I have never seen the word certificated before. Huh.

Thank goodness for small favors, eh?

Jesse, I'm so sorry it was i.d. theft. I was hoping for something more stupid. I'm glad she was bagged, though. Did you put an alert in with the credit reporting agencies?

Yep, I called all three, even though they all said they'd let the other ones know. I'm considering doing the seven year alert thingy, since this is the second time someone not-me has charged stuff to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay--if you could make these talk to your Roomba...oh, imagine the cat-chasing possibilities!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Someone, quick, motivate me! I have so much to do, and so little will to do it.

Do you ever feel like we're all supporting each other, sometimes dragging each other, through miserable work days? Like a white collar platoon?

We gotta keep moving! Five O'Clock will never get here if WE DON'T KEEP MOVING

There's a Buffista down!

We gotta KEEP MOVIN'!

We can't leave sarameg behind! She just got nailed by freakishly bad code and a deadline!

Go on without me! But AVENGE ME! AVENGE ME
