Hack Job.

I know I already addressed this on a post the other day, but my email was hacked. If you are in my email contacts you got some crazy email about me being in Wales without money or my passport. Let me say this, if I was anywhere international I would be some place tropical or at least more adventurous than Wales. Additionally if I need anything in life I have one plan of action, call my parents. Everyone knows this about me. If I am sick it is Mama and Dado to the rescue. If I am needing advice or help, Mama and Dado. So while the out pouring of love and concern and support and hilarious responses (like "if it said stranded in Iowa, I would have believed it!") just know that I am safe, in America, with access to my bank account and passport.

Now as a part of this hack job the asshole hackers also deleted all of my contacts. This is not as big of a problem as it could have been because I have a large percentage of my contacts backed up on my blackberry, but not all. And I will have to go back and manually enter them into my email. Lame.

The worst part of the whole situation is the asshole hacker deleted ALL of my saved emails. Now again all my important information I have backed up in most cases, but the personal emails I lost is tragic to me. I have emails saved from years ago from my parents, sister, friends, boyfriend, etc. Emails that were hilarious or helpful on a rough day. Now they are all gone. I have contacted stupid Yahoo to see about recovering them but they might be one of the worst companies in the Customer Service department ever.

I will rebuild my arsenal of saved emails, I will manually enter my contacts and I will get past this unfortunate situation, but in doing so I will also be switching to Gmail. Take that Yahoo.
