Annoying Day

So yesterday I was so very annoyed, that I could not sleep and when I finally did get to sleep I woke up with a massive headached that has not gone away 3 hours later. I figure the best way is to get it off my chest. Since I have been bugging my friends to update their blogs I figured it was time I stepped up to the plate and had my own.

I had plenty of warning of how annoying the day was going to be as far as no power was going. They are building a new apartment next to mine, and in order to hook up their power, ours needed to be cut off at 8am for 4-8hours. That was fine and dandy, I went to mass in the morning knowing that my elevator would be our, seemed like a real good excuse. Joe came to mass and afterwards we went to buy my texts for next year, not cheap, and then worked on a project for Chritsmas.

I got home about 2 thinking/hoping power would be restored so there would be no problem. Sure enough no power and no phone. Losing phones were not part of the deal, but that is fine i figured it was just as long as power was out. So I went down to get my mail. Found my power bill, which was 5X higher then normal. I called Nova Scotia Power, on my cell because we had no phone lines, to sort it out. I had two options to pay the bill and any overages would be credited, cause I like them collecting interest over me, or read the meter myself. He explained how to read the meter and off I went. The meter reader missed the account by 1000KWh. So I had to call again to get my account rectified, the money I saved on power I probably spent on the phone bill.

We still had now power so I got a pizza for supper since I could not cook or warm up anything. My food is low now anyways because I'm heading for home in three days!! I had to work at 5 because the other guy is already gone home enjoying his Christmas with family. I get there to find out the late draw is cancelled, but only 2 teams showed up so by 6:30 I left because there was nver a need for me to show up.

Power was finally restored when I got home, but there was a friendly note letting me know that phones would be out for an undetermined period of time due to unforseen circumstances. aggrevating to say the least. Finally just before I went to bed the phones were turned back on but it made for a very annoying day.

Fortunatly tomorrow is going to be a fantastic day. All sorts of folks will be coming over to enjoy risk at my place. This has been in the plans for a few months, now that it is approaching I am really excited.

So that was my first blog entry, it took me a while to catch onto the bandwagon but I did arrive...I guess other things are like that too, but in the end it seems for the better.
