Thursday, November 23, 2006 Grrr.... They cut my water for not paying my bill yesterday. Why is this annoying? Surely it's my fault, it was after all me who didn't pay the bill, right? Well, it's simple. The bill I didn't pay was the bill from JULY. That's right, I've paid every month since then and they didn't mention anything. That's 5 bills I've paid since missing one, and not a word until they cut me. GRRRRRRR!

It's fixed now, but I had to pay the $5 fee for getting my water back, plus this months bill, plus the bill I missed. What's really annoying is that my water bill generally floats around $1.50/month. If they had just said something during those 5 months I could have paid it when I was paying my other bills. Oh well. It's over.

Thanksgiving is upon us. Enjoy it, eat well. We're actually celebrating here on Saturday (since teachers all have to teach during the week, Thursdays are difficult) so no feasting for me tonight.

Oh, I went to the bank and discovered money I didn't know I had. This quarter has been so awesome, I've been living the hedonistic lifestyle an ex-pat ought to live, and still have money! I wish I could live like this in the States on $6/day!!
