Rose, Lettuces and Scammers

Super annoyed with myself today.  Was settling in for a working from home day, unpacked my laptop only to realise I'd left my charging cable at home.  There's no way it would survive all day even on a full charge, so I had to put proper clothes on and go into the office.

Between realising my error and having to leave for the bus, I got a phone call from a scammer trying to convince me that my 'device' had been hacked.  He started by calling me by someone else's name, when I asked to be removed from their mailing list he said he couldn't do that becasue my device was hacked.  I asked him what device it was that he thought was hacked. He said it was the number he was speaking to me on. I saidthat it was a landline and that there was nothing to hack.  He asked me for my license number (I never found out the license number for what).  I gradually got more and more shouty and was quite enjoying it - seeing how much I could call him a scammer and keep him on the phone for until he hung up.  It eventually worked when I asked him if he could tell me anything about me or my device - he gave me the details of some poor woman who ended up on all the scammers list.  I told him he was wrong and just kept on asking 'if you have no idea who I am, how do you know my device is hacked?' until he eventually hung up.  That was four and a half minutes he wasn't scamming someone else.

In other news I'm really pleased for the lettuce today.  Good job.

Edit: I should mention the rose which is an indoor miniature and was a welcome gift from the estate agent when we moved it.  Once stem has grown really long so the rose is resting on the windowsill and the flower isteself has sort of warped out in a long way.  Makes a fun blip.
