pg&E drama
Yesterday was such a weird bad day.
I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst migraine I've had in years. I was getting up and puking every hour or so. There was so much pain and nausea that I couldn't even lay still. At one point in the morning I was stumbling back to bed from the bathroom and cut my little toe open on the foot of the bed. I called into work crying while nursing my bloody foot and fighting passing out.
I finally got rid of the headache for the most part but the uneasy stomach stayed with me all day. I was laying in bed all crusty and dying when there was a knock at the door. I looked through the peephole and saw a strange angry looking man on the other side. I decided to pretend not to be home. But he knocked again and again, each time harder and longer than the last. I frantically looked around the apartment for something to cover up with, as I was bra-less and yucky and in no condition for seeing anyone. I opened the door and the horror began. This man was from pg&e and claimed that he was here to turn off our power since it apparently hasnt been paid SINCE APRIL and when we moved in we never put the pg&e bill under our name. So I'm telling this guy it's not under my name because our utilities are included in our rent and our landlord takes care of the bills. This man was so fucking rude. He was shouting at me "OH HAHA, YOU WANT ME TO TURN YOUR POWER OFF RIGHT NOW AND PROVE IT TO YOU??!" He was smirking and telling me I was an idiot if I thought someone else was paying the bill. He made me call pg&e right there in front of him and switch the bill to my name, leaving me with a huge bill worth 6 months of electricity plus a $40 deposit and some service fees.
After much abuse from this man he finally leaves acting like he's taught me some lesson against trying to 'beat the system'. So I call Denis right away and tell him what happened and he called our landlord and the landlord calls me and says that the bill IS under his name and he HAS been paying our pg&e. Duh.
Landlord calls the bank and finds out his credit card he uses for automatic bill pay has been expired since April so the bills havent actually been paid in months. Then he calls pg&e and tries to pay my bill but they wont let him since the account is now under MY name and only I can pay it. I'm still trying to figure this one out.
The bottom line is, this man from pg&e belittled me, treated me like I was lying to him to get out of paying the bill and was completely unprofessional and intrusive. I've become very sensitive recently to being abused by people like this, and the whole time he was here I was on the verge of tears. In the end, I turned out to be the right one and he wasnt even here so I could tell him off.
The rest of my day was shitty needless to say. I have the day off and I'm hoping for a serious turn of events. I'm going to the store then I'm coming home and doing some major cooking and cleaning!
