I HATE the local power company.

[lildreamer316]

It is a long,sad, tale, so let's just say they promised I could make a payment today and disconnected my power this morning ANYWAY (at 10:30). A payment (as a show of good faith;not even actually required)and TEN phone calls later at 10:30 TONIGHT in the FIFTY DEGREE HOUSE with my 22Month old son who just had a FEVER FROM GETTING THE FLU SHOT my power has FINALLY been restored. Their mistake, my suffering.
Now, before you think I am complaining about something that isn't that bad, you must understand that my anger comes from the fact that (for ONCE) I did absolutely nothing wrong. These fucking corporate monopolies just piss me off beyond all reason. Please also do not lecture me about the alternate energy route; I have already planned to install solar panals WHEN I can afford them(there is a tax credit here in NC when I do!).
My child has suffered today, and heads will fucking roll. I shudder to think how I would feel if I were Cindy Sheehan or anyone in New Orleans. At the risk of sounding trivial, I wanted to ask one of the lovely condesending people I tried so hard to be civil to today, if they were training for a FEMA job.
Shit.
Gonna go count my blessings now..............
