Disgruntled?! Who's Disgruntled?!

This is a copy and paste from my Facebook. I couldn't log into anything because my account was hacked!

What a freakin' freak show. First my Gmail is hacked and the account is disabled. Do I get benefits for having a disabled account?! Probably not...bummer. Anywho, I try to activate it by giving them my phone number and they call with a verification code. The page to input the verification code is temporarily unavailable. I try to get more verification codes until it locks me out for attempting to verify the maximum amount of times; which by the way is 5. When that happened, I contacted them through their "contact us" form. They ask for my email address to send correspondence. Marty McFly...it's disabled!!! Walk away, Wendy, walk away. I did walk away but only for a few hours. So, I try to have it send a text to my mobile phone. Note that my mobile phone isn't capable of receiving texts. Heh heh. Well, it immediately goes to the page to input the verification code. However, I can't get the code. I do try other codes that were written down from earlier just for giggles. It didn't work. Grrr. Moving on, I try to log into my YouTube account to subscribe to some channels. Well, it sends me directly to the "Account Temporarily Disabled" page but this time, no option to have them call with a verification code. Text Message only. *head hits desk* Fine, the vast web feels compelled to be linked to Google. *SIGH* New direction: Get information about a garden that I want to start later this year. I decide it's worthy enough to want to blog about. I try to sign in. I get this: To access your blogs, sign in with your Google Account. The new Blogger requires a Google Account to access your blogs. It also reads in RED letters "sorry, your account has been disabled." *Whaaaaaaaaa* I'm trying to get over the fact that if the account isn't resurrected, I will lose a lot of Google Documents and Google Calendar information and needless to say, all the newsletters I'm subscribed to and there are *widely opens eyes* A LOT. *ssssssiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhh*

I honestly don't see anyone trying to figure out what happened to my account over the weekend.

Thanks for reading, if you read this far! Thank the cyber God that Facebook isn't linked to Google Accounts. Ahh, the silver lining!
