So yesterday I turned my Bulk email inbox back on. Before then 'Bulk/potentially Spam Emails simply went straight to oblivion. But after turning it back on, I'm getting an annoying 3-4 trashy emails an hour. And when I say 'Trashy' I mean stuff I don't want to see. Not necessarily Smut, but ad's too. Every time I open my account I see that someone has taken the time out of their day to write me a lovely note, so I click on it to find out more, and notice that its just weird crap in Polish, or Yugoslavian, or something. So this morning I notice that I had received an email from my own address, but advertising a frivolous online pharmacy. I was in shock. I shouldn't have received something from my account that I did not send! I emailed my dad and asked him his assessment of the situation. He assured me that it was nothing. But still worried I still changed my passwords to... something else. You thought I was about tell you didn't you :) Not so my friends. I don't know who's listening. But I will tell you that my password was changed to something more complicated. Namely a 30 digit series of non-sequential numbers, un-repeating letters, and a plethora of random meaningful symbols. I also have put in a request with my email provider for longer passwords. I have used every single significant letter/number/symbol that I would remember, and then combined them. My ideal password would be 58 characters long. You know, for maximum difficulty/secrecy.
Collins, my desk neighbor, and I were talking earlier about nerdy stuff like spamming people, and emailing. He's a pretty smart kid. And to top it all off, he sends us all funny emails during the day. He used to test video games for a job. How cool is that?!
I spend a good amount of time Fighting the battle of my life last night. The world is a little safer this day because of the late night hard work that I've done. Rest in peace friends.
I'm listening to Harry Connick Jr. right now. Its a little weird, I know. But otherwise I've listened to Every single Guns N Roses song ever released today.
