I going to go off on tangent....

I used to sell my stuff through amazon.  I just wanted to get rid of a few things and it was easier than opening a new account through ebay.

Anyhow, Amazon had this annoying habit of sending e-mails about problems when they were fixed.  They did this when stuff mostly when I purchased straight from them: sent a "product has been back ordered" e-mail after the product was back in stock and about to be shipped.

The major problem happened when Amazon sent me an e-mail that the buyer's payment process had a problem, and they were waiting for the buyer to update and fix.  What they meant to say was that there was a problem and it had been fixed.

So I'd be waiting for Amazon or the buyer to contact me as to the fix which never came.  Finally the buyer contacts me as to where the hell the item was.  I replied immediately that I received their purchase order but I had received an e-mail from Amazon saying that there was a problem with payment and was waiting to hear that it was fixed.

After several back and forth e-mails with Amazon (I may have even called; can't remember), I find that the e-mail was meant to prove that the problem was fixed.  Argh.  Anyhow it all got squared away in the end, but I turned me off from selling through amazon again.  I did learn to send e-mails to buyers with every e-mail I received from Amazon.

Hi, everyone--

Well, I have written to amazon and told them to close my account.  I heard from the seller again, saying how sorry he is I was hacked, but it's not his problem and he can't refund it now.  Gee, aren't I lucky it was just eleven dollars?  Then I heard from the amazon trouble shooters and they gave me the same line, "gosh we're sorry, but there's nothing we can do"  (What was most irritating was that both seller and amazon wrote in all small letters, no caps, no puinctuations and no grammar.)

So I wrote back and said "Well, there's something I can do.  I'm cancelling my account.  Bye Bye fellas."

When I wrote this, I realized I left out one vital fact and it's going to make me look stupid.

I was stuck on the front desk over seeing the computer sign ups...and since there was nothing I could do work wise except that, I logged on to my amazon account to delete items on my wish list.  I am certain I logged out, but now I wonder if I didn't:  today one of our young patrons asked my young, male co-worker if he had purchased any new add ons for his psp game.  My ears went up. 

I asked him later if he had, in fact, ordered anything from amazon.com in the last few days and he said "No."  But again, I am certain I logged out and even if I didn't, he doesn't know my password. 
I still believe I was hacked from inside.  I am calling the credit card company next to see if any strange new charges have been added.

Oh, I love my life some days.

As I was reading this, I thought exactly the same thing.  My co-worker uses my computer 2 my desk when I'm out, and when I've logged on to Amazon I've been logged on as her for some reason
