Blizzard conditions, and I’m sure Calix is loving every minute of it. Luckily, it has passed, but the amount of snow it left on the ground is nasty. Out my window, in that parking lot, tons of people are getting stuck trying to get out. Why travel? I’m not sure. Even the main roads look pretty slick, because traffic is crawling right now as I look out my window. There were quite a few pile ups today. One in Kansas that involved 30 cars, and another in Missouri had a 20 – 40 car pile up, including 3 big rigs. Snow is certainly beautiful, but it’s a silent killer, which I can’t say I enjoy. I also drive a ’99 Mustang, and that just magnifies the nastiness for being a rear wheel-lightweight vehicle.

So, the entire wallet situation came out alright. The fella didn’t decide drop a haymaker on my credit and debit cards. All of the transactions that he/she did do, were all caught early enough to be declined. So that loss hits the retailers for NOT CHECKING THE SIGNATURE against a PHOTO ID. About the only thing I am really disappointed with was that I had my Christmas money in the wallet. Think I’ll just leave my drivers license, debit card, and nothing else in my wallet from now on.

I woke up today with an e-mail from Megan that said that her car was broken into, and the only thing that was stolen was her CD Player’s Faceplate, of which, is worth about $2.  Uh, why steal that?  No idea…

I also couldn’t find my wallet, and that I must have left it at Megan’s apartment….. Or Car…

Then, I listened to a message on the answering machine from my credit card company inquiring about fraudulent transactions.  Called them back, and listened to them rattle off several charges from my debit card and credit card.  You know, Debit cards are stupid for the fact that you can run them as CREDIT without the need of a pin number.

Lost some cash, drivers license, my social security card (sigh),  my credit card and debit card, and my moms discover credit card (luckily he/she didn’t touch this), and a few misc things.  I canceled all the cards, but the damage has been done, and the potential for further damage still lingers with my SSN being in an idiots hands.

And to top it off, the statement that I’ll never forget from Megan’s mouth, “You know, I always tell you not to leave your wallet in my car.”  As if I did it on purpose. Hello, accident. Just drive the frigging dagger deeper, would ya! ;(

What a crappy day.
