Okay, so that is a triffle dramatic - but it's been that kind of day.
Have you ever noticed that it is harder to spend cash than it is to use a credit card? Well, it is for me. It is frickin' inconvenient to be without a credit card. Earlier this week I discovered on my normal end-of-the-month check on my statement - just y'know checking my spending habits and such - that there were over three thousand dollars of fraudulent charges on my credit card. My one and only credit card. No, it wasn't stolen. I still have the card. But someone, somewhere drained off the "Cash Advance" part of the card.
So I called and cancelled the card, and have just finished signing the affidavit they kindly sent me. In the mean time before my new account is activated I am stuck without a card.
So to quote the Tony Award winning musical Avenue Q - "It Sucks to Be Me."
I am a cash-only household for a while. If you have paid for anything over the internet with a credit card lately, check your account balance. And do it now. Before the statement arrives in the mail.
Big fat pain in my butt.
