That happened a few weeks ago at home.Originally Posted by itadakimasu
The idiot who took the reading wrote down 800 instead of 300 in one of the two readings (my house has two... dunno why... its been like that before I was born) so the bill was more than double than it should be.
They corrected it... after 1 week of calling them and them sending an inspector
Fuckers...
i saw an old bill at my inlaws house and their usage for the month was like 200kwh and they have alot more room than we do.
i checked earlier and our usage is @ 45kwh/day for the past 10 days and the $390 bill was 60kwh/day. Maybe the kitten is playing w\ the oven while i'm at work.
todays bitch : why can't every week be a 4 day work week? i would definately put in 10 hour days if wednesday or thursday was a day off.
You'd be less productive in the last 2 hours of the 10 hour days, so it would basically be giving you a day off each week, which would ruin a company. Believe me, I work 12 hour days and a good 6 hours of each day is wasted time.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
12 hours a day? damn that's hard.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
You get used to it, especially since you only really work 4-6 hours a day. Having to be accountable for 12 hours a day sucks. I don't know how I'll go back to 8 hour work days only 5 days a week.

It's raining ice, and your electricity goes out for a week. Now, you have to move to an apartment or hotel or get a power generator. That was pretty hectic.

Ouch, that's bad.
It would not be such a big problem for me and my parents(we got power generator(diesel one) in basement prepared for their caravaning trips), but damn - its just purely bad.

The noise it generates is too much already, not to mention the fumes that build up within the garage, even if you leave the door and windows opened.

As in.....it's hailing?

That wasn't the case, fortunately, or else it would have done a lot more damage than the icy rainstorm. It was basically rain, but since it was below freezing at the time, as soon as it hit something, it would freeze. The weight of the acculumated ice would drag the power line down, causing it to collaspe and cause blackouts. Mines lasted for a week.

Interesting. That's something I new I've learnt, since it never goes below freezing here.

Freezing rain, another feature of the Northern Hemisphere (specifically the 41~42nd Parallel North) that you Southern Hemisphere Softies will never experience. The joy of spinning in your car at 20 mph...
At least you have us beat on poisonous creatures (namely, all wildlife in Oz).
And lack of water. We're possibly the 1st First World country to have a drought in recent generations. We get bushfires too, though probably not as bad as the US.

I used to work like that. 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Until I abandoned IT (where I was a 'Junior Tester') and went to Process (where now I am a Process Implementator).
Now I get to make the IT people work while I only work 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Disconnections! How many times have you guys encountered this?
So, you're playing an online game with your friends, and is coming close to winning, then all of a sudden, you're disconnected. How do you guys feel about those, or have you not gotten one in a long time, as in, a very stable connection?

None for a very long time, most of the time other guy lags-out than me.
Still - no matter who lags out - its very annoying.

I've had my share instability
It happens infrequently, but can last for weeks when it happens. ISP hasn't been useful diagnosing the problem.

a man walked in the store today, turns out he's a self-proclaimed graphologist (remember how I was abused as a child by tarot cards?) , and his kick is to walk between stores and make an analysis of people (mostly clerks) based on their signature (or whatever single word they scribble for him to exam). and since I'm the 'new guy' around the store, it was my turn.
what can I say? my eulogy will have less compliments, turns out that my half-assed scribble means I'm fit for managing careers, have great perception of people and am in complete control of how I react.
so, he started out nice, saying things everybody wants to hear and hardly no one will object. but then he got greedy, and started speaking about my relationships with girls. I haven't posted in the 'let terra fix up the shit in your love-life thread' in a long time for a reason...
not so much of a bitch, much rather a rant about people... also, after seeing that guy try to use astrology personality analysis on me (result- fail). I have renewed belief that tarrot cards, astrology, teapot reading, karma-perception and whatnot are complete crap.
and also, if someone doesn't say that every method of 'spirituality' other than his own is crap, then he doesn't believe in it himself.
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Usually, you believe what you want to believe, any basis of ideal life. People make a living off those predictions, it seems.
That's pretty jackassery of him to do that. What did you do afterwards?

I bet DBZ forced him to buy something really expensive but completely useless.
