Yesterday I got home and had no electricity. I panicked. I ran to a pay phone (because the home phone doesn't work when the electricity is out) and called the Ameren UE Speedpay line. On the way there, I saw some lady go to make a left hand turn and she drove right onto the median. She couldn't see to back up, and she couldn't go forward because of the sign that was at the end of the median. A semi passed her and was attempting to make a left hand turn into the Dierboog's shopping center. He passed the turn, went to back up, and hit a van.
Now, I'm pretty mad when I get to the pay phone. Last Thursday I paid $50.00 on my electric bill, so I figured the remaining balance was somewhere around $48. I couldn't believe they'd turn off my electricity for $48.
But when I called the Speedpay number, it said I owed $98.00. WTF? So I went ahead and paid $99.00.
I borrowed a yellow pages from the gas station attendant and wrote down the number for the local Ameren UE. I called. While waiting on the phone for umpteen hundred years, the phone says "We are experiencing outages in your zip code."
Crap. So I could've gotten away with not paying the stupid money until next payday.
So, some checks are going to bounce.
This sucks. I need $100.00 to make my account right again.
I head back home and all the lights are out at the intersections. And when I get home, all my neighbors have no electricity.
Stupid me. I should've known I would get a disconnection notice before they'd turn off the electric.
As for my journal, I hated to lock up. But I felt that Toni would eventually do something to me in reference to my journal, that would be not so nice.
So much for letting someone in my real life getting to know me.
Stupid, stupid me.
What sucks is that you can only put 10 names on your list for passwords. I have 50 readers!!
In other news, I slept like crap last night. I am so drowsy now!!
