Random Chaos

I'm on the phone with the power company. My payment plan has been abruptly cut off. They rejected it months ago apparently, and SOMEHOW the notice got lost. And all the bills didn't? I call bullshit.

I'm on the phone with the power company and I can't get a new payment plan. They'll keep taking the other money but won't be running the power on.

So I'm calling aid agencies
While I have phone. It's dark ages time.

EDIT—I just got off the phone with the agencies. They all either:

• don't take applications on days other than Monday, or
• I don't make enough money to qualify for financial assistance. (What the fuck?)

I'm dipping into the reserves again—if nothing else, I'll keep fed until I can throw more money at these tardigrades. That's what the PayPal reserves have been lately: feed myself until the next check arrives and bill can be paid. Tomorrow I ATTEMPT to get the food stamps fixed again, and all the money can go back to bills IF that gets fixed.

(Actually that insult does a disservice to tardigrades. Those weird little things can survive the vacuum of space.)
