Honestly, I had this whole post written then clicked the ‘back’ button by accident. Here is the condensed version:

This is not my week.

Paypal stole my money. Well not steal but they are holding it and I have ‘limited account activity’, which means I cannot remove my millions until I prove who I am.

Supposedly trying to withdraw money from PayPal is a ‘dodgy’ activity that is worthy of questioning your identity.

On the Upside this week (It is the kind of week where you need to count upsides):

• I have FINALLY finished my accounting (for now) and can do CUSTOMER WORK AGAIN! YAY!
• Emma is raving about the http://wellington.girlgeekdinners.co.nz/ last night – sounds like an awesome line up of speakers and food.
• I learned how to cook Chicken Rendang and Roti.

Seriously, is it not dodgy that a company can decide whether or not you can withdraw your OWN money? I know it’s for security purposes and I’d be gutted if someone else withdrew my money, but also I wonder if they are just delaying so they can earn interest on MY MONEY.

My dodgy behavior is described as ‘Unusual or potentially high risk’. I am wondering if they think:

a. Having me in charge of any money is high risk because it is coming into winter and I want new stuff.
b. It is unusual for me to have money

Both these are true, but it’s none of their business! If I wanted someone to monitor my spending, I’d ask my mother!

It’s like everyone is out to get you sometimes.
