Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
So, we had a second earthquake today (08/05)!
I felt the last one, but I didn't feel this one at all. It was a 2.7 on the scale, the epicenter was in a town about 18 miles away from mine.
So, let me tell you about yesterday and today, and what happened.
I didn't sleep well Sunday night, and got up early because I was working at the office. I stayed at the office until about 2:15, and was back home by 3:00. It was my late night, so I was on the laptop until 6:45, then had dinner, cleaned up around the apartment, and then about 10:00pm, checked my email.
To my surprised, I had 2 emails from DocuSign, and one from Bob's Furniture, with a survey on the customer service I received. I thought this was a scam of some sort. I opened one of the DocuSign emails, to see if I could get some sort of information without having to click on any links, which I refused to do.
For those who don't know what DocuSign is, it's a website that you can send documents through, that will allow them to be signed electronically.
There was a serial number in the DocuSign message, so I opened a new window and logged into the real DocuSign site, and searched on the serial number. Up popped a receipt for approximately $1,100.00 in kitchen chairs. The receipt had my name on it, my address, email and phone number, as well as my prior address (parents' home) with my name.
It appeared that I had been victim of identity theft, the only saving grace was the credit card listed (last four digits) was not mine.
It was now past 10:30pm, so there was nothing I could do at that point, other than check my accounts online, and was relieved to see there were no odd transactions.
I went to bed, and of course, slept poorly as this played on my mind all night. I ended up getting out of bed at 4:30am, I couldn't lay there anymore, so I got up, shaved, showered, and did all the morning routine stuff.
I got to the office, and found out that Bob's Furniture didn't open until 10:00. I was trying to think of what to do, and called my parents, as their address was on the receipt too.
Turns out that dad and mom were at that store yesterday, buying new kitchen chairs. It was the same store I got my furniture from when I moved into the apartment, so the salesperson accidentally used my profile, but mom and dad's credit card, and used their address as the delivery address.
half of me was relieved to find out that there was no identity theft, and half angry at the awful night's sleep due to worrying.
I wasn't worried about my credit, I received a letter about a year ago that TicketMaster had a data breech, and I used them to buy concert tickets, so for the past year I've had my credit frozen so no new accounts, loans, LoCs, or cards could be obtained in my name.
Glad you came out OK from the earthquake, the colonoscopy and everything else, Chuck. And I'm sorry that you'll have to work remotely because you seem very social but I'm sure you'll find other ways to get together with people.
He's a socialist, sure enough! 
Hello Katy and Jeff! Regarding office, I'll get by. It just means that I'll spend less on gas and save miles on the car. There will still be teams meetings and such. Yeah, not the same, but I won't be completely isolated.
