I feel like I brought the mood down in the off topic thread today and now no one wants to post

So on a lighter note!! It is Friday!

So on a lighter note!! It is Friday!

My guests come back today. In fact, they should be arriving momentarily. I guess I should get in the shower.

Hee, hee.

You didn't Trailmix.

As for me and my story:

Let's see....our gas has been turned off since noonish Wednesday, and I am at home; hence no cooking.

People's Gas and our bank had computer screw-ups (we pay on-line, and have been since we moved into this place at the end of June) and the money was going...where? Hmmmm...I ended up having to do the forensics that tool about 3 or 4 hours. this is mostly cellphone minutes. Who will pay for that? Bah!

And so...they realize they wronged us and we may have to wait until Monday.

I'm not complaining so much as worried about how things like this can take this route.

We had already notified them, and they were to do an investigation.

They didn't.

They cut the gas.

I did the work and uncovered what may have happened....it was quite complicated, and I'm a natural at investigating. B)

I may have missed my calling. Hee, hee.

More than that, after over a week or two without snow on the ground, we are in a kind of blizzard.

I may continue to hermit myself until I leave for the Westcoast...if a flight will take me out of here when I am ready to go.

Hahaha!

Besides going out for food and some classes I am taking, I do not go out of the apartment.

Hermit, I am. (A mild one.)

Gude thing I haz internetz!

I also have a ton of books from the library (have bee researching sustainable energies, mostly solar power...and anything to do with "green" living).

I want to work in this field.

Maybe even invent something!

Uh... it's CHICAGO? Isn't that illegal for them to turn off the gas in the middle of winter?? Is that the primary source of heat for you Spirit? Are you FROZEN?

Oh you're so sweet.

It is only for the stove/oven.

We have those loud hissing banging radiator thingies...that are still making noise...I mean heat.

Flames, you have been so exuberant, so fun, so light and fluffy!

I love the new you!

Perhaps the weight of school being over??

Hee, hee.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

For a moment there I thought sister Spirit had relocated to the Ukraine.... no gas and all.

It is Friday - and the gods seem to want me to go downtown and get some Sephora goodies. I shall obey.

They need bleeding to get the air bubbles out. Hot water rads are awesome.

Just back from Starbucks!! I said good morning "Len" but the gal didn't reply back! Len must be in a bad mood!!

Yeah!

the worst part is, I am so extremely polite, kind and nice to people on the phone.

It is, after all, it's not that person's fault.

However after having all kinds of call-centre people be extremely nice back, trying to get a supervisor on the phone proved futile.

If I get downtown today (that is if I go meet my sweetie for dinner near his work) I have found their head office! And I will go and make noise like they have never heard. I have worked in customer service practically my whole life. I know how to get things done. SQUEAK!!!!

Regardless, I will be getting something on record over there and asking for some free months of service.

When this is done they will all know my name.

Ha!
