This is what Dan says about le nub's money sitch, in his VERY OWN TYPING! (SAY "Hi, Dan!")
Yeah so I'm not going all the way to my desk to sign in as me, but anyway here's the thing: it could be a test of the account's validity, though generally when that happens the criminals tend to make small withdrawals so as not to set off flags, rather than making deposits.
To me it almost looks like laundering of money that has been taken from some other person's account. Like, what might be happening if this was a transfer rather than a straight up deposit in-person is that funds are being electronically transferred from one compromised bank account to another, before ultimately being withdrawn and wired overseas since the FBI (now) tends to look for people who create new accounts just to mule hot money.
I admit I haven't heard or seen any reports of such a thing, but I could see the business progressing that way. That of course means the CU account would have been compromised in some way, or that an employee of the CU is participating.
I woke up exhausted this morning. Like, I could sleep another eight hours exhausted. Fell back asleep on the couch and am now late for work (with ND, so that's not too big a deal). I have a painful headache behind my right eye that ibuprofin hasn't touched. And I'm feeling tingly and light headed. Ugh.
Okay, so here's my question of the day: Dan typed the security info, but which of them went back to edit in the paragraph breaks?
MWAH!
!
Sean, take care of yourself, that sounds like a whopper of a headache.
Thanks, Burrell. It's a pretty light day of studio work today, and I have ND keeping an eye on me. The headache is a *little* better after an excedrin migraine. Still a little lethargic and light headed, though.
Sean, feel better. I had an awful headache yesterday and couldn't figure out why, until I realized too late at night that I had been having 3 cups of tea at the beach and only had one yesterday.
Man,
well, I am beyond glad that I got my account number changed. What's more interesting is that I did some contract work for an agency in Qatar a few months back and was paid in that account as a wire transfer. Now, the suspicious activity showed up locally, so I don't think it had anything to do with the international work...
Yeah, I can't see any explanation of what transpired that does not have me uttering the word "shady."
If it were on the up and up, other things would have happened (like a notation on my acct). I thought it was preparation for imminent fraud or laundering. I do think the other CU is in on it.
I'm trying a new pizza place in town. It's too hot to cook.
Back to me and my floors:
Zen, DEFINITELY check for formaldehyde. It's in lots of plywood and cheap cabinets and flooring and all kinds of stuff. Ask for the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet).
smonster: I went back to the store and asked about it, and the guy called the manufacturer, who reportedly said, there is no formaldehyde in the product or the adhesive, and VOC emissions is extremely low. I found the following on the ever-reliable Internet:
"Luxe is FloorScore Certified, meaning it’s guaranteed to meet or exceed low emission standards, will not adversely affect indoor air quality, and the products have passed a third party certification process."
I also looked at the MSDS and it says the vinyl flooring "do not release any hazardous chemical under normal conditions of use".
Marmoleum/linoleum is great, but it's not the look I want!
