Sometimes, when I write my daily column, I wonder how the energy may manifest in my own life. I’m no different than anybody else who reads the Everyday Tarot that way. This question seems to come up most frequently on days that I WILL notice the energy in my own life.
I had that thought run through my head about the Princess of Cups...but dismissed it. After all, I haven’t felt overly emotional. Things are going pretty well. It’s all good, right?
Well, I got myself an email, for an AT&T bill. An email that said I owed A LOT. I began having a real-time fit on Twitter.
Better investigate, right? Cannot have my cell getting turned off, this is how I make my living! And to view the bill, the website insisted that I update plugins. The page wasn’t even displaying. What the Hell?!
I start cracking jokes, although to be honest, my heart rate was still elevated from seeing that unholy balance.
I also wasn’t understanding why my firewall kept asking me to allow various permissions. It was annoying! I continued to work on jokes to abate the annoyance…until I noticed a window for a brand new “virus scanner” pop up saying I have a problem. Uh oh. Cue cursing, because I know EXACTLY what that means!
Now, not only is this upsetting getting taken for a ride, it’s embarrassing! I’ve been an internet consultant for many years. People email ME to find out if emails are scams or not. No matter how good or official an email looks, I know to check the links in it to see if they go where they are supposed to go. And even if I’d missed all that, knowing that I was being asked to update plugins and give permissions on my PC to view a BILL should have been a major tip off.
But all of that got past me, based on the emotional response of seeing a $3500 phone bill with my name on it.
Well played, criminals. Well played.
The story has a happy ending. I took a shower and Captain Virgo fixed it. And that’s my story.
You have a story?
