Well, after 20 years of having a credit card, I’ve finally had my first experience in identity theft.  Some nimrod got a hold of my credit card number and tried to buy some software (a game app) online.  fortunately, USAA caught it immediately, shut the transaction down and alerted me, and now I’ve got no credit card until Wednesday.

This is the capper to an incredibly annoying morning in which I didn’t sleep particularly well, had issues with my iPad synching that led to a visit to the Apple Store (I wasn’t paying $30 to get help), only to have the device — in automotive style — synch up and work just fine.  I got rained on coming home on the motorcycle, then tried the synch at home.  It worked fine, until the 4.2 update crashed at the last second.  I can get it to synch, but there’s issues now with iTunes losing the connection to my iPad again.  The garbagemen had nicely scattered crap all over my driveway.  My cell phone dies in the middle of a call to set up the appointment to fix stuff broken by the movers.  Then the call about the credit card.

Apparently, it’s been too quiet a fortnight for me.
