OKAY. I am really god-fucking-damn stressing out right now, and I feel like I'm on the verge of just breaking.
About 9:30 this morning, the electric company showed up to inform me that my mom didn't pay the bill, and that they were cutting power to our house.
Fucking whatever. She does this shit all the time. I don't get it. I pay her rent, she has three jobs, where the fuck is all this money she makes going?!
So I dealt with it. Gave her a call to see what the hell was going on, listened to her rant and rave for a while, took a shower in the dark (though suprisingly there was hot water? Fucking miracle), went to work. Had to deal with my dad complaining that she asked him for money (my parents have been divorced for about 7 years), and then my grandparents (happy birthday, Grandma!), who let her borrow some money. Fair enough. Italian family, always a helping hand when you need it.
She pays the bill, and these fuckers say they won't turn our power back on until TOMORROW morning. I mean, we're in Massachusetts. It's spring, but it's still arse cold. It's supposed to hit 19 tonight. Not celcius. 19 degrees. Below freezing.
Like, what the fuck am I supposed to do? It'll be cold, my laptop battery's almost dead, as is my cell phone. What do you want me to do, power company? Shiver in the fucking dark because you won't be reasonable?

Side note: This was cool when we just couldn't afford oil. It got me pissed off. That's when I was in my harshnoise phase. At least it was productive. But no power = no amp.
sider note: If I make any really scathing/sarcastic posts while I'm still at work this evening..don't take it personally. Except for you, Dovey. I'm watching you. Root Beer lover.
