Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have a notary in my office.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

When my wallet was stolen, the stealer put $2000 on one credit card, $1800 on another, and emptied my checking account (with my debit card). In an afternoon! Gift certificates seem to be the way to go, stolen-wallet-wise.

(I didn't end up being liable for any of it, and one of the credit card companies tried to call me at home while the fraud was happening, but didn't actually deny any of the purchases as they were happening.)

Of course, I get into work this morning and discover somebody else had her wallet stolen on my floor. (My theft was 2 years ago.) Sheesh! And you have to make a big specific request to be able to lock your desk drawers. Of course the thieves like us!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My sister was bit by a notary once.

(It's a Buffista rule that someone must make that joke at least once a week.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Will they notarize your signing my name? That would rock.

Now I get to hate Sprint, too -- I couldn't even get anyone on the phone. I have to mail them a notarized form and include my leases for the past three years before they'll even start looking at this. SO PISSED. I really do not have time for this shit.

Better call the exterminator then - they breed like roaches.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's so fucked up. When someone tried to set up phone service with Ameritech using my name and SS some years ago, they called me.

Jesse, this is not how you prevent identity theft.

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

She's giving her identity to Aimée. It's a whole different vibe.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

When someone tried to set up phone service with Ameritech using my name and SS some years ago, they called me.

Wow. That's awesome. When someone tried to set up phone service with Pac Bell (which became SBC and is now AT&T) using my name and driver's license but a different SS some years ago, they let her. Then, when she ran up a $950 phone bill and didn't pay for 4 months, they cut off my phone.

I'm still boggled that, of all the creditors I've ever had, the only one that never ever attempted to contact me by phone when weird charges or weird lapses in payment happened was the phone company (repeatedly, not just the identity theft bullshit).

Now I get to hate Sprint, too -- I couldn't even get anyone on the phone.

Fuckweasels.

Still no FedEx. Despite the fact that they called me at 7:15 this morning.
