GREAT WORK ASSHOLES |11:50 PM| I came home to a powerless house. I assumed that the power had been cut for non-payment, even if I'm not the one paying that bill.
A call to the electric company revealed that power was supposed to be on. I had checked the breaker box, but the woman on the phone led me to another, outside, near the meters. This is when I found out my back door was unlocked (I always keep that fucked double bolted)
As a side note, none of these boxes were locked. I could have shutdown power to any apartment in the complex.
I powered my house back up, went inside, thought "I'll bet those idiots were working on the A/C, cut my power, then forgot to turn it back on."
I hit the A/C, my breaker box started making funny popping noises, and the one out side jumped to "off".
Fuck.
This all means that my A/C is still off, which means I get to sleep with ice cubes wrapped around my neck, AND I get to worry about my house burning down. (Cass and Chris were nice enough to let me spend most of the evening at their place)
I'd just cut the power, but without the heater the fish will die in about 4 hours.
I'm going to bed.
