The boy got a job

During my last post I made brief mention of a phone call I received about a job. Well, ladies and gentlemen, The Jerome has received another job. As always, God was right on time! My pops is wondering if they should ship Big Ben in from London to wake me up in the morning. What he probably doesn't realize is that I was getting to my one-week job BEFORE the office personnel, so I should be fine when it comes to showing up on time. With that said, I want to give a shot out to my peeps who've been supportive of me and some who've even put me on their tab for lunch or dinner. Jerome won't forget you when Jerome starts rollin' in the dough.

Now, I'll continue where I left off yesterday talking my electricity or lack thereof. After 20 phone calls AND waking him up AND making sure he followed me to my house, I coerced my [unidentified relative] into getting to my house to do a little re-wiring action. He did, I called the utility company and now I have to wait for the city inspector to take a look at it before they send their meter guy. I love talking to incompentent customer service reps like the one I spoke to on Friday. I digress. While the aforementioned relative was re-wiring, he starts give me a Robin Hood talk. Classic stuff. He starts telling me how the utility company is just owned by crooks, who are out to take people's money, and no he's never stolen, lied, cheated his OWN family or anything of that nature. He's what some would call a trustworthy, upstanding, hard working citizen. Of course, the people who do say just happen to be his buddies. Go figure.

And so it begins...

It is approximately 8:42 a.m. MST, and I am posting the first of (probably) many blogs. (Just got interuppted by a phone call for a job.) Now, I won't have to use up my e-mail space to send my write-ups. I'll just post them to my blog. It'll also give my fellow Smack Tawkees an opportunity to get some web face time with their sometimes funny replies. (Note to Knotter: This has spell check. Use it, my friend.) I realize this first blog isn't that funny, but it's 9 in the morning and I gave no thought of starting this blog bitnit until 20 minutes ago.

Today, it appears that I'll be getting my electricity back up and running. To make a long story short, my [unidentified relative] switched a couple of cables around in my meter, which the utility company didn't take a liking to since I was only paying half of my electricity bill. The utility company decided to get back at me by taking the meter and in turn my electricity. I don't know if it was that great of an idea since now I won't have to pay anything for 4 days. Yep, they have some geniuses working down at the local utility company. Let's see $4 for some size D batteries vs. $13 they could've been collecting. It's amazing how much I really don't need electricity at my house. It seems like I'm only there to sleep anyway, so my flashlights were more than sufficient. Unfortunately, flashlights don't emit heat but that's what blankets are for. Well, blankets don't either, but they do retain it. I was unable to save all 4 items in my freezer, so I had to toss them yesterday. Not much of a loss since they've been in there for at least six months except for the broccoli, which was in there for two years (seriously).
