Im having the best day ever today. I woke up this mornin and my chest was tight and i was coughin up flem for 2 hours, felt like crap. Went to school, felt sick the entire time i was there, left to come home early, get home..and guess what? NO POWER!!!.....it turns out my landlord *without telling me* wants us to get hydro under my own name and pay the bills that way. Yet he neglected to tell me this for the last, 23 days ive been living here. So without even a warning, the power company came when i was at school shut the power off and left. So i called the power company, they wanted to turn it back on in 2days time, a $40 account activation fee, and a $250 deposit payed up front b4 they did any thing. So i told them id pay the account fee, the 250 deposit, but i need it on today, well guess what? thats another $65 charge. So i said u know what?..i need the power on, so do it. So sure enough, 2 hours later a guy from the electrical company shows up. He sits in the parking lot beside my house for a few min..gets out of his truck for a second, gets back in his truck and takes off. So i figure "alright powers back on"..go to hit the switch on my breaker....nothing. So i tryed again 10 min later thinkin they might have to do somethin at a power station to turn it back on...still nothing. So i called them, "yea we had a guy come by and turn it back on, but theres a breaker box outside thats not ours and uhh..we dont have a key for it, so...yep"...so now theres a breaker box outside under my power meter where i need to get into to turn my power back on, but i dont have a key for it, only my landlord does. So i tried calling my landlord..goes to his answering machine *typical of him...he doesnt pickup his phone unless its his office paging him, its some one he knows, a friend or some one hes expecting a call from"....any ways, so i call his office to get them to page him...still nothing. So i call again half an hour later, they cant get a hold of him...so essentialy ive been sittin in the dark since about 3pm today, its now...8:30..so 5 and a half hours...only reason im on is cuz im using the battery life from my laptop and my neighbours internet connnection wirelessly. So yea, hows that for a kick in the teeth...having no power for 2 hours..then gettin power but cant turn it on for another 3 and a half hours. Oh..btw..im also feelin quite sick and also its 33 degrees celcius out today too. So not only am i feelin like crap, but im hot as hell.
Sorry, i just needed to vent..not feeling good, heat and me being pissed off arent a good combo. |
