Currents of Time

I just got a notice from the gas company that my payment is late and they're going to discontinue service.


THIS WOULD BE A LOT LESS ANNOYING IF THEY'D EVER SENT THE BILL IN THE FIRST PLACE AND I WAS, IN FACT, JUST NEGLECTING TO PAY IT FOR I-DON'T-KNOW-WHY. HONEST TO GOD AM I SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GUESS, OR WHAT?

And, yes, they have my address! They sent me the bill for the deposit, which I paid on time, thank you. And they just sent me this BTW, SHUTTING YOU OFF notice, so it's really not like they don't know where I am, so why has the bill never actually arrived and WHY IS THIS MY FAULT and why were you useless when I called you EARLIER THIS WEEK TO ASK WHERE THE DAMN BILL WAS?



Hopefully I will be feeling less like murdering someone by the time they're open again Monday morning so that when I call I can be honestly civil to the poor employee, instead of having to grit my teeth and try not to snap at them.
