Thank You Mr. Internet Hacker

So do you REALLY want to be me?

Don't ask me how it happened but somebody hacked my Yahoo account this week. Tuesday morning I woke to a constant stream of phone calls of people checking on me to see what was going on - like I am coherent at 7:00 AM sans caffeine. I went to my computer to find out that I had an email from Yahoo notifying me that my password had been changed. The next email stated that another email had been added to the account as the primary method of communication effectively locking me out. Meanwhile the phone is still ringing constantly with people mostly telling me to check into the situation. A couple of people sent the actual email to me and I suppose that did nothing but piss me off. Mr. Hacker, if you are going to run a scam for money from my friends and business contacts, at least use a believable story. Saying that I am randomly in "Wales" with "my family" and "crying as I type this" does not fly.

So two days later it is all resolved and the account is back in my control. What a pain, like I needed that this week.
