Fascinating Stuff Happening to Other Folks

Today was fine and the writer's virtual meet up on Discord was fire but there was some really unpleaasant things today

For one, it snowed nearly 10 straight hours. There was so much salt on the roads that it wasn't sticking there much but we did get a few more inches. It was a gentle snow though, so very pretty.

But right before my afternoon class started, I thought I heard my phone in my office but I was down the hall talking to a coworker. I didn't have time to look at it. By the time class was over and I got home it was nearly 5. I saw there was a message on my land line phone. It was this collection agency that didn't autofill the name or the case number and I did call them a couple weeks ago when they did that and there was no viable phone number. I doubt it's for me but I DO want to know what it is.

But also on there was a call from my bank. Turns out they called my cell too. It's a real phone for my bank. My bank called BOTH my phones. OMG. WHY? We all know that it's not for anything good and I have to wait until tomorrow to ask after it. God I hope I wasn't cleaned out by a hacker.

Then just before seven I hear a metallic noise outside. I figured it was the blade of a plow. But as I'm talking to my parents a half hour later I check my cell to see if they canceled tomorrow. Turns out that was a crash where my road meets the highway and I'm cut off. I didn't see anything so I'm assuming it's opened now. DOn't know if anyone was hurt.

I did put in for money for my work con. I could go to that Mexican all inclusive I went to last year for two weeks for what this costs. Sigh. And I guess I'm to pay for an uber to get from the airport tp the con hotel but it's like 24 miles and no one has a shuttle. When I put in for a shuttle it said it was 385 and showed and SUV. I checked renting a car and it was the same cost so I'm assuming if I want to get there I have to rent a car or pay for uber (which I've never done since we don't have any here)

Such a weird day.
