Starting out my day at work doing pretty well when I received a phone call from a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer it and waited for a message. One did appeared and it was my sister-in-law calling from a payphone with her baby in hand. Our power had cut out and it was questionable on whether the water was on, too. So I asked my boss if I can leave and he did (I love him) then rushed home to aid Naomi and Jay.
Got home and the water was fine, but the power was definitely was out. I called our electric company and was informed that our bill was over due, then it dawned on me, Me and Jen was talking in the office about the bill & who should take care of it and I swore I was paying the bill while I was talking to her, but now I realize that I didn't.
Damn it me. So I made a payment and sat for hours wondering when they will turn the power back on. I was told that they stop tech service at 5:30pm, so at that time I gave up (still apologizing to Naomi) and just decided to wait for them to hopefully appear at 8am Wednesday.
I met the wife at the theater to see Wild Hogs while leaving Naomi, Stephen and Jay Lynne in the dark (and I was feeling like shit). After the film I was trying to contact them with no success pretty much because our mobile phones died. So we went home (with me still feeling like shit) and prepared for bed. I went back to the car to get my wife's planner where before me appears a white pickup truck with TXU on it. I said, "Noooooooooooo.........Seriously?" and all of the sudden the power was back on (making it possible for me to post this blog). I went back down to thank him (and get my phone), but he drove off.
Thank God for looking out. Electric Companies are tricky beasts. Bastards!!!!!!
That sure was nice of them to come out and turn the power back on.....at least the movie was funny! That should have been somewhat uplifting.
ReplyDeleteIt was, but I was still feeling guilty.
