Did you ever just have a bad day and want to scream?

I am crackberry addict. My life would be unmanagable without one. I use it for more than work. I use the Yahoo messenger programme to keep in touch with friends, store pictures, and the calender helps me remember my schedule for my personal and professional life. It is a useful little toy!!

I would not get a Razr because it forces me to use a bluetooth headset. Those headsets are just too dorky for me.

I just had one of those today! I got the house all cleaned up, got all kitted out in my kilt and new sporran, stopped at the bank on my way down to the Columbus Scottish Fest and found out my bank account was EMPTY!!

Apparently someone had gotten a hold of my account information and cleaned me out! The bank did all the paperwork to replace the money and I've got new bankcards and cheques on the way, but money isn't going to be in my account until the end of next week, which means I have to wring every drop of gas out of my car, which means I couldn't afford to drive down to Columbus!

I get back home, pick up the mail, and find a letter from the local VA office cautioning everyone who dealt with them about a stolen laptop that had a lot of veterans' financial information on it. Guess who just sent in thier application for her G.I. bill money and requested Direct Deposit?








Strangely, in this whole ordeal, the thing that upset me most was that I didn't get to go to the Scottish Festival.

My wife and I keep a seperate account for direct deposit. Once the money is there we transfer it to the other account and just leave enough to keep the account active. I never did trust the system that much.

I'm sorry you didn't get to go. I got the same letter yesterday. They caught the guys that stole the laptop though. It doesn't help those like yourself who got hit though. O'Neille

Well, like I said, it doesn't bother me so much about the money because the bank is replacing it, but I won't get it back for a while so I didn't get to see sexy men in kilts tossing cabers.

So run up here to Chicago next weekend for Celtic Fest...the games aren't quite as extensive as they are at a regular Highland Games (at least the ones the Illinois St. Andrews Society throws in June) but they are pretty good. The musical line up is actually impressive and there ought to be enough men wearing kilts and tossing cabers...often at the same time.

A shameless plug for Celtic Fest!
