I think I've already talked about how I had my work email changed nearly a year ago to get rid of spam. I've only given my new address to printers we deal directly with. I don't give it to online vendors, I don't even give it to my friends or family. Well, I'm getting spam again. Not a sudden influx, just some initial tricklings. And where is it starting? That's right, "Septic" problems. "Prevent Septic Backups" and "Do you have a Septic Odor problem?" were the last two I got. Well, they've got my number.
Oh man I'm tired. I've been up unacceptably late the past few nights, either working on freelance jobs, or hammering out the infrastructure on the new web server. And I'm at that stage where I could have a narcoleptic seisure at any moment. By the time the tunnel vision sets in and the gray spots start floating before your eyes, it might be too late to pull yourself back out. I just need to succumb to biology, walk in the front door after work, drop to my knees and collapse onto the soft, yet partially crusty carpet and start laying a drool puddle.
And I better do it soon.
Next week, we head off to Oklahoma to visit Amanda's family. We're not going to do the overnight keep-the-kids-asleep driving routine this time. We managed the San Francisco/Reno trip last year during the daylight hours, so we should be alright. The week after that, we're headed down to Phoenix for our Summer convention for a few days. That will feel like a cinch.
Septic Odor?!? HAHAHA. BTW, did you pick a random collection of numbers and letters as your email address? That's the only way to stop spam. Any names, words, or concatenations of them will eventually be guessed by spam programs. And once one of them senses that they've hit on a valid address, it's only a matter of time until you're back to the 100+ spams per day. :(
