yesterday, i was sitting there, doing what i do, and suddenly, i didn't have gas.
it seems that even though there's money in the bank, and even though i had received a bill 2 weeks ago, i had totally zoned on paying the gas bill.
i panicked, looked under a pile of books (damn you CR2!) and found the bill, called and paid the bill in total.
it was fully my bad.
i had just got a new stove the day before and wanted to cook on it last night but we ate out instead. having no heat (and it's not *that* cold yet) we sat under blankets and chilled, as it were.
but this morning (and i'll be as descriptive as possible here) i had to microwave a bowl of water to clean myself. and my 2000 areas.
(see, that wasn't so bad)
the gas man (also my ex's nickname) will be around later in the day to turn it back on.

That is just way too many nooks and crannies to contemplate. I think I'll just think of one.
ReplyDeleteUgh. It's always worse when it's your own damn fault. I hate that. So you'll be having gas later today then? Sorry, too perfect of a straight line to pass up.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...whore bath...
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious the CRII is just too much pressure for you to handle. May I suggest dropping out and giving me your spot? You know I just want to make things easier for you.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that, done without electricity for a couple days.
ReplyDeleteGood to know the gas company is a little speedier about reconnecting!
it's back on! i may go shower here in a bit. or i may just wallow in my own stink.
ReplyDeletewait, cindy, you didn't make the list? how did THAT happen? i need to go look at that list again. whatever you do: do NOT piss nicole off. it's *reallY* easy to do, just don't look at her in the eyes and if she speaks to you, keep your head down and try to curl up as small as you can.
I'm a total fuck up. I was creating a blog for the read and completely spaced on having to apply/sign up. I'm going to do it anyway, but I don't matter like you peeps on the list.
ReplyDeleteI shall heed your warning. But if anyone ever comes after you I will promptly kick ass.
Anne's right, it sucks when it's your fault. I usually don't realize that though until I've torn the Customer Service Rep a new one over the phone. Then I realize I've screwed up, after lodging my foot securely in my mouth. I am a master at it. I'm glad to hear it's all better though!
ReplyDeleteHA! So funny that you say this. I recently just did not get around to paying my bills for a full month. So, I paid them in August, and then I didn't pay them in September. Like, at all. Credit cards, gas, electric, insurance. Just did not do it. So the end of October rolls around and I start getting calls like 3 times a day from two mystery numbers (one turned out to be the gas co). The best part is, I pay them all online. It takes, like, 10 seconds.
ReplyDeleteI set up some automatic payments this month.
Also, whore's bath rules.
hehehe, 'whore's bath', I love it!
ReplyDeleteI once forgot to pay my credit card for, oh, three months. We'd just switched to a new card and I was using that, and I never paid off all the automatic payments that were still coming out of the the old card. Which I hadn't cancelled because I knew I hadn't switched over those same automatic payments. Somehow, my brain never made the necessary connection between that fact and actually paying.
The bank lady was very nice though. If I'd been her place, I'd have called me a moron.
