Just got off the phone with the utility company who said I “wrote a bad check” and therefore couldn’t get an extension. What actually happened is that I had more than enough money in my account on the 9th and it took them 6 whole days to withdraw the money, at which point I was $20 short and the whole thing got returned. In the meantime, I spent the remainder of the money because it showed it as processing for nearly a week before disappearing and I got no indication that it hadn’t gone through for another 3 days. I needed groceries so I got groceries. So I’m now $270 short and it’s looking like I’m just gonna be without electric and water from Monday-Thursday. Gotta love it. When we called we made a point of staying calm and explaining what happened and the person just kept saying, “You wrote a bad check” over and over. We don’t even have a check book. And when my partner started crying the rep just hung up.

So that’s how my day’s going.
