Again
Title courtesy of Alice in Chains. I miss Layne Staley. Great voice.
So, for the second time in a month, I have become the victim of some kind of fraud. Yes, it happened again. At the beginning of the month it was someone hacking into my eBay account and buying an $800 laptop. It took about a week, but I got the money back from PayPal and no harm no foul, except for the seller on eBay putting out a non-payment strike on my account. But F him. I told him numerous times I didn't buy it and it was unauthorized. So, it happened again, although slightly different. I was trying to relax at home on Saturday night with Missy and Keyser (I borrowed him for the evening. More on that later) and I get a phone call from my Visa card bank, asking to verify some purchases on my account. There was one for two $500 gift cards to Bed Bath & Beyond that I didn't make, and another one for almost $1,100 at the Apple Store that I didn't make either. So they canceled the cards, issued me new ones and started the process of refunding me the money. Needless to say, I was pissed. Twice in one month? The only thing I have to say to that is WTF?! I think the thing that pissed me off the most is that I really want a new MacBook Pro, and they probably bought a $1,000 laptop at the Apple Store. I'm debating filing a police report with my local precinct to maybe see if they can do anything. My best friend Brett, who is a police officer thinks its a smart idea, my dad, not so much. He said I'll get the money back, so I'm not out anything, and doesn't think the police will pay attention to something like this. We shall see. I'm debating it, like I said.
Onto my next topic, borrowing Keyser for the night. I figured it would be a good idea to take him to the house now that its actually hospitable and seeing how he reacted. The verdict? He reacted badly. He was all over the place, and didn't really know what to do. He wouldn't sleep and kept waking up every hour or so in the middle of the night, and of course the second we tried to crate him he whined and barked. And, the second it looked like we were leaving to go back to my parents house on Sunday for Father's Day, he started freaking out. So, experiment failed. All I lost was a nights sleep, and some sanity. Everyone was joking that its good practice for getting up in the middle of the night for a newborn. Ha ha... not funny people!
So that's about all for now. Peace out party people...
