I have to admit that I've done the "but there was no bill!" thing.

Oh, it wasn't that. I mean, yes, if you've gone two months without a bill, you should maybe go looking, since probably it doesn't mean it's free. What bugged me was that they hadn't worked out that not getting a bill -- and therefore never paying anything -- and having their service cut off might possibly be connected. Let me put it this way: I would expect the conversation to go, "I see you never paid your bill." "I never got a bill." "Okay, let's fix your address, and then you're going to have to pay some to reactivate it." "Okay." Rather than, you know, repeated iterations of "I never got a bill!" "Er, yes, but you're still going to have to pay for the calls you made. So let's fix that now--" "I never got a bill!"

Man, I love afternoon out-of-office meetings! We were done at about 4:15, my boss asked me if I was planning on going back to the office, I looked over to the Big Boss, and she was like, "Oh, hell no." Not in those exact words.

And in migraine news, my poor boss was on Percoset for the meeting, so I kind of held my breath every time she started talking. She actually did OK, if a little spacy.

The man said he was going to come and see me when i got off work.

That would freak me right out. Dear god. At least my crazies didn't know where I was located.

We're having The FLOOD right now with sheets of rain, lots of wind, thunder, lightning and hail.

It's looking like it's approaching dusk outside, so I'm expecting THE FLOOD to arrive here pretty soon. The local radar loop shows the bright red spots bearing down on us here in the northern 'burbs.

Of course, I left my umbrella in the car.

It's dark here. And thundery. But no Actual Rain yet.

We gots rain, and thunder, and some lightning just now.

probably it doesn't mean it's free

Fair cop. I get pissed off and defensive, but all I'm asking for is time to make it right--not trying to get permission to just not pay for stuff I knowingly used.

The WORST thing (and it happened twice, because I'm evidently a moron) where I want to ask for mercy and really shouldn't get it...dialup internet outside the area of free calling. I've probably, in two goes, blown close to $1K that way. Just STUPID.

Jaysus! I'd never do that. My reaction is too unpredicatable. But I could probably go up to 4mg of Dilaudid and remain coherent. Not drive. But maybe fool people into thinking I had idea #1 of what was going on.

I think I want a cookie.

Timelies all!

It's ridiculously hot here today. I hope we have dance practice inside tonight.

Shoot, all that talk of bills suddenly reminds me I forgot to grab mine to take and pay today! Damnit! Hope none of them will be late. eep.

I just got snapped at in a text message. There are very few ways to take "it's not like ure my woman" as a response to me apologising for not returning a call.

Well, any hint of guilt has just evaporated. That's handy.

(what? There was totally tone)
