Something's Pfishy

I'm sure that none of you would follow through on one of those phony emails from places such as e b a y - right? Right.

Received one today and instead of just deleting it like I normally would, I decided to report the pfishiness of the thing directly to e b a y and let them handle it. Sent them the entire email, header and all - let them sort it out.

They are grateful - or so their email messages have said - of course, along with the email messages are all of the warnings about NOT opening such emails, especially NOT to open any attachments one might come with - and all of the nice comments about how one should protect oneself, and one's identity and such.

So far I have not fallen prey to such as these - hubby did one time a few months ago and he entered panic city when it hit him that things were just a half bubble off plumb. He called the credit card company (!!!!) and had the number changed - new card sent out, etc. Then he called me to "fess up" to what he had done. Poor thang - I felt a tad sorry for him, but then just wondered . . . . WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??????

He is much more careful now. Lesson learned. the hard way.

So - how was your Tuesday? Mine was busy - but okay - and that is a good thing. Have begun working on the second non-profit's tasks set before me. ;-) Balanced their checkbook tonight - found a $50 error, in the bank's favor, but not a terrible mistake. All corrected now. Bills have been paid. That was an hour's work. (there were three months worth of bank statements!)

I'll need to get some supplies - stamps for one thing, and a file box to keep all of their paperwork in. Really, it is a small group so a file box will be plenty large enough.

Ahead
- getting their website back to functional and completely overhauled and brought up to date.
- start over on their newsletter; it has been a few months since one was published and they would like a monthly. I used to do it for this organization a LONG time ago - the newsletter needs work.
- get the vendors used to another pretty face
- get the suppliers used to bills being paid in a timely manner
- likewise the authorities getting used to paperwork being filed in a timely manner.

Geesh - I have my work cut out for me, huh? I'd better get out of here and get some sleep so I'll be all perky and ready for it tomorrow. You all have a wonderful Wednesday. See ya later.
