inMy IT guy told me to stop changing my password every 90 days and I argued with him for 20 minutes
Does Dave have a magic crystal ball that tells him nobody ever gets hacked on his watch? The thing is, a password that never changes basically gives a crook unlimited time to crack it or steal it from some old breach list, and if your bank or email gets hit you cannot just swap it out before the damage is done. Every security expert on TV says the same thing Dave says, but those are the same folks who told us to use "password123" complexity rules for years and look how that turned out. I get that people write down "Summer2024!" on a sticky note, but at least a fresh password locks the door again after a leak, whereas the old one stays open forever. You keep changing yours monthly, and honestly I would too, because paranoia has kept more people safe than trust ever has.

inTried a weekly log on one page instead of daily spreads for a month, and I am never going back
Did you keep a notes section at the bottom for random stuff, or just let it go? I tried weekly-only once and it worked great until I needed to dump a random thought at 11pm and had nowhere to put it. Now I just scribble it on a sticky note and shove it in the back cover like a gremlin.

That $8 blender deal on flash sale cost me 3 hours on the phone with support
Man, I remember reading a thing a while back about some lady who got a $3000 TV for like 50 bucks because of a fat finger price and the store actually shipped it to avoid the bad press, but I'm pretty sure that's super rare. Most places have a clause in their terms that says they can cancel any order with a pricing error, so legally they're mostly covered. Your move of screenshotting everything was smart though, that's the only reason you probably got anything back at all. Three hours for 16 bucks hurts my soul, but sometimes it's less about the money and more about not letting them pull one over on you.
