rosa_heartlilyThis time last year I was wrangling meetings, using Copilot, hoping for pretty flowers, enjoying new skills in Forspoken, and pondering my relationship with CS Lewis.
Today I got scammed. That's all I'm going to say about it because the more I tell the story the more stupid I feel. Unsurprisingly, the bank are not going to refund me. I made the payments. I was not under duress. I was just stupid, despite all the professionals I've spoken to today trying to reassure me otherwise.
Apart from the money, I lost an entire day to the nonsense of trying to sort it out. There are two bright spots. Firstly, it didn't happen closer to pay day; I could have lost a lot more. Secondly, I've changed some of my passwords, which I probably wouldn't have done if I'd just put the phone down when the scammer called.
In my efforts to distract myself, I watched Emma whilst eating the chippy tea Son treated us to, and the boys watched Liverpool win at home. After tea, I finally got round to some Veilguard. I've recruited a powerful ally through persuasion, again. I don't fancy fighting her...
And now I'm finishing Robots of Death. Someone's interfering with the robots' programming. Sooo far-fetched...
