Clockwork

For those of you keeping score at home, I charged plane tickets to Boston and the second Barbados payment on my WF credit card this week. Which of course prompted a call from the monotone computer voice asking me to verify charges. I should be glad they're protecting me from identity theft, but really it just feels like Big Brother has declared travel illegal.

That is so weird. I never get automated phone calls when I use my WF credit card. You must be special :)

I really do think it's hilarious that Wells Fargo thinks you do nothing but sit at home. All day. Every day.

I wonder if it's because once upon a time I signed up for a free trial of their identity protection service. I did it for the free credit report and then canceled the service.

The report was handy because it's how I discovered the Visa that Citibank opened in my name (when I was in high school) and neglected to tell me about for 7 years, and the collection action against me for $42 from the hospital in North Carolina where I was treated for the food poisoning I got while door-knocking for the Dems before their spectacular defeat in 2004. You know, the hospital where they delayed my treatment because the stupid woman couldn't fit my whole DC address into the appropriate line in her database. Might be why I didn't get the bill.
