Pure garbage

So let's talk about things that aren't fun, mostly identity theft, which is something I've been trying to sort out myself for the last 2 days. Long story short, something weird is happening and someone used my personal information to do some weird shit. All my banking stuff is safe so far and I've taken all the correct measures to ensure that everything will continue to be okay (including calling the cops...more on that in a bit) and hopefully this is the end of a relatively minor inconvenience. Right now I'm drinking some gin (which I infused with lavender flowers just to class it up) and soda just because I think I deserve it after everything I've been through today.

And now for the mean cop. Not to get into too much detail but basically something really strange happened that implies some sort of use of my identity and when I learned about it I obviously tried to get to the bottom of everything. The end result was that I should contact my banks to make sure everything was okay and call my local police department to file an incident report and so I did both. I spoke to a few really nice ladies at the police station who seemed concerned and pointed me in the right direction as far as contacting the right agencies to make sure my identity was safe. After doing so I was instructed to call them back and then speak with an officer. When said officer called me back he talked to me like I was a complete idiot and made it seem like I was wasting his time. Because this incident happened in Canada and I'm living in the States right now he had to ask his sergeant (who, he informed me for whatever reason, is a woman) if he could take my report over the phone. Apparently I was supposed to be grateful or something. Anyway, it was a frustrating half an hour and when I used the term "liability" he seemed to realize that I have a brain and stopped talking to me like a 2-year old. Maybe it's a police officer thing where they talk to everyone like idiots, but it really made me mad and it made me feel this big.

Then I cracked open the gin and everything feels a little better.
