Long day

I’ve been dealing with bureaucratic bullshit half the day — somebody somehow managed to snag not one, but two of my credit card numbers, before going on an oddly local shopping spree, a thousand dollars here, a thousand dollars there, at stores I’ve never even heard of. Whatever happened here, it’s not because someone a thousand miles away snagged the numbers off the internet somehow — it’s someone in this neighborhood, who stole my mail, or surreptitiously copied my numbers during a legitimate transaction, or found them in my trash — though the latter is extremely unlikely; I’m pretty cautious about things like this. But who knows? Strange and unsettling, at any rate.

(…they didn’t steal the cards themselves, I’ve still got both of them…)
