I’m Thankful for Rain and Customer Service (Thankfulness Week Days 5-6)
Today, I’m making up for yesterday when there was a massive storm that kept me off the computer. So, to start off with, I’m grateful for rain. Even when it comes in a massive storm that has the lights flickering and the dog glued to my leg.
I live in an area that has been stricken by drought. This summer broke records for numbers of days over 100 degrees, and it pretty much didn’t rain all summer long. We desperately need rain, so any time we get it, I have to be grateful.
And for today’s actual gratitude, I’m thankful for all the people at different companies who help out customers in need, and for all the ones who work to sort out fraud. Why? Well, yesterday I discovered that someone had used my Facebook account to purchase Facebook credits through my Paypal account.
On the same day, someone had used my debit card to sign me up to the kind of site the internet is known for, if you know what I mean. Not the kind of site I personally visit, let me assure you, and if I did, there are free ones out there. You really don’t have to pay for it.
Anyway, I contacted Facebook and Paypal and my bank, and I got everything sorted out. My bank in particular was very helpful, and Paypal and Facebook have already resolved the issue and will get my money back. It’s an all’s well that end well situation, plus I’ve tightened up security on all of those sites. So it’s a win, although a stressful one.
The people who did the work to help me get everything sorted, whether they were people I talked to or people working behind the scenes, are awesome. I’m so grateful that they are on the job.
You know, before I started this blog, my life wasn’t nearly this eventful. I wonder if there’s a message in there somewhere?
