unclejimbo | Today is so Fucking Fired!

kyburg took Xander in to school today while I was able to head back to work, 1 whole day this week, whee! I get a call from her about 9:30ish. Some bastard has hacked her identity and racked up charges on her debit card for over $600.

Added to being out most of this week with the Hamthrax (aka the H1N1 flu), needless to say she didn't take this well. She's just spent. I came home for a few hours to file paperwork with the bank and get the police report started. (Note: The people on the phone who informed us of this were less than sympathetic and left her feeling more than a little overwhelmed. Oddly enough, when I get on the phone and use my 'Big Person' voice and start asking very focused and pointed questions seeking a resolution, they were much more helpful. I really don't care if they liked me, I wanted answers. The folks at our branch here in Torrance, big help and very sympathetic. Helped me with the paperwork and corrected a huge mistake before anything was faxed in.)

She's tired and fed up with the world and afraid of what's around the next bend. *sigh* Glad I'm mostly over this crap. I'm gonna need to step up a bit more. Hopefully we'll be feeling better for Thanksgiving so we can salvage something from the holiday. (She's going to be working the day after.) Bad luck and worse timing.

Going to need to look into how much I have in savings this month.
