Calm before the Storm

Posting for Friday, March 15th, 2013

Wow, today at work was the calm before the storm!  Next week is when it is projected we will be crazy busy with people that didnt get their bills caught up during the winter season and that had help from energy assistance programs and have been riding the system.  Now they will be disconnected and calling angry as if they didn't know the routine. 

I have only been working here for 9 months and I know the routine.  LOL.  It truly amazes me what all people think they can get away with.  For real.  It would never occur to me to tell some of the fabrications I have heard from some people why they haven't paid their bills in months.  REALLY?! 

Try being the only one trying to make ends meet, without a spouse, or better half.  And I manage to pay my bills, most of them. 

We all have issues, don't get me wrong, but for the most part my heart has hardened to peoples "excuses" and "situations" except old people.  My heart always tugs for old people that are on a fixed income, I know that from my mom. 

So, if you don;t hear from me next week, during the stormy hours on the phone for me at work, you will know that I am just like REO Speedwagon, "Ridin the storm out."  :)
