well I'll be damned
yesterday the city shut off my water because I owed them under $200 TOTAL. yep. they totally did. I was napping on the couch between 4 and 5pm and when I woke up, it was off. they literally came to my house while I slept and turned that shit off. so then I call at 5pm and I say, "oh for god's sake, I have the money - I can pay you over debit card right now." and you know what he says? "that's too bad. I can't take a payment and nobody will come to turn you on until tomorrow or the next day."
yep. that totally happened.
now, I'm not saying a person shouldn't pay their bills on time. and the worst part is, I certainly had the money in my account. with all that's been going on with me, I'd simply spaced it. and I had received a notice awhile back and paid the amount on it so it wouldn't get suspended - but apparently a new bill has now printed - which I've yet to receive. I told the guy I didn't get another notice of termination. his response? "they don't need to send you a notice, you should just pay it on time." WOW! don't come turn off someone's water then refuse to give it back for 24-48 hours. that's just ridiculous. also, is $130 worth turning someone off over? just asking. man. I get so pissed sometimes. it's a good thing my kids are young.
life is definitely fucking with me.
there had better be water in abundance when I get home!
