Progress. I haz it.

As some of you may or may not know, I have been having really really ridiculous problems with Washington Gas Company. Just ridiculous, overcharging, accusations of lying, bad meter readings etc etc. I finally, after 6 months of frustrating phone calls, no real answers and no progress, gave up. I filed an official complaint with the city.

Having never gone through this process before, I wasn't expecting much, if anything, from this illustrious city of lazy. But. BUT. Within one hour, I received a phone call from my 'caseworker' Lawrence (fist bump to you, good sir) and an email confirming our conversation and next steps.

6 months with the gas company. 1 hour to get the city started on it. For as much as I have zero faith in the mayor, it's nice to remember that there are people in this city who do work for its constituents, and take pride in that work. It's about damned time.

What am I Doing Today?

Updating my resume. That's what. It seems the 'workforce reduction' will start in September and the policy is 'last in, first out'.

*sigh*

It Ain't Fresh Air...But It'll Do

I finally had my open house and completely forgot to take pictures. You will just have to imagine it. I will say that thanks to my friends and neighbors, my bar is quite stocked. I think that I should have a few more parties just to fit all the wine into my bar/cabinet.

Today at work, my work gma is not here. That means that we can leave the horrible overhead florescent lights off and just have the nice natural light from the windows. I know that I am lucky to have windows in my office but I always complain that the lights are on when we don't need them. Today? No problem. And my lunch was awesome. This bodes well for the rest of the week.

guess what?

The humidity has broken and my summer roomie made me tacos for dinner. This is going to be a great summer.
