Paging Sally Miller....

Well I can't say it was a wasted day, but here it is coming on 4 in the afternoon and I have not gotten anything personal done. I have dealt with house stuff all day. First thing off was our installation appointment with Directv: yay, we have DVR now! But that took 4 hours (and it's not even complete: Jason damaged a cord for the internet downstairs and has to finish that piece of it). Next, now that that was a done deal, I called to cancel cable and add digital phone to our Comcast account. Once that was done I got to call our phone provider and ask them what the hell this new fee of $15 was for and who ordered it. And that's where it got weird.

Turns out Sally Miller ordered some voice mail via the internet service and added it onto our phone number. Hmmm... So how does that work?? Our number is public, not unlisted, and we have had it for almost 10 years now. Wouldn't you think they'd check? I'm really baffled. Thankfully I noticed this right away because I had a limit on how much my auto payment would fork over, and this new fee tripped that alarm, as it were. Now I don't know if this was a simple typo or some kind of a scam or identity theft in bloom. Kind of freaked out.

Odd coincidence is my daughter's computer identity is Sally Porcupine. On the off chance she accidentally signed up, still: how the hell would that happen. She clearly does not sound like anything other than a kid on the phone. Very weird.

Now I'm going to play with my new toy until Kyra gets home. I was making fast progress on my current quilt, but that was nipped in the bud with the arrival of my new TV toy. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day, and I have a week until the birthday party, so no worries.
