According to the Asheville Citizen-Times, the names and Social Security numbers of 8000 workers, non-workers, or perhaps even employers were mailed to the wrong place by the passive voice, exposing whomever was affected to identity theft. Evidently, the incident was reported, consistent with the 21st century work ethic of being able to mess up anything so long as one is able to document it. While we’re on the subject, if anybody out there doesn’t have my Social Security number by now, please email me for a free copy.

P.S. Like the dude in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” I am not mad. I am just reporting on the reports.
