Don't Ruin My Friday!

Fridays are supposed to be the easiest day of the week. A lot of people will leave early or take the day off or half day off to go out of town for the weekend. Usually you can just get your work done peacefully, counting down the hours until the weekend, and leave for a blissful two days off. However, there are several factors that are trying to ruin my Friday, and I'm not very happy about it!

First of all, I got the e-mail today from TXU saying our electric bill was ready. I was dreading opening it because of the catastrophe of last month's air conditioning mess. It was even worse than I had expected. Our bill usually runs about $100-$150 because we like to keep our air on relatively cool. However, because of the disastrous weekend in May where our air run 24-7 just to try to keep it at 85 degrees INSIDE our apartment, our bill was $247 dollars! That is INSANE! We have the order in to switch companies to get a little better rate, but it hasn't gone through yet and besides there is NO reason that the bill would be that high normally. It has to do with that weekend. So Austin called the apartment complex and complained to see if we could at least get a cut on next month's rent or something since it was THEIR fault it was so freaking hot in there and that it was running constantly. I had told Austin we should shut it off because it wasn't getting cold anyways, but the apartment people had told him that we had to leave it on because if we didn't, it would be even hotter. So we followed their instructions and look what it got us! GRRRR! Needless to say, they are supposed to call him back to let him know what they have decided. At least we tried!

The other thing that is trying to ruin my Friday is the fact that all week I have had NOTHING to do. And I don't mean that I really have stuff to do that is insignificant so I don't want to do it. I mean absolutely, positively nothing to do. There is more to the story, but at the present time, I don't want to explain the details. Suffice it to say, it's been a long, rough week!

Anyways, now that I have vented about that, I will go back to trying to enjoy my Friday. At least someone brought in donuts this morning. Even though I shouldn't have eaten it because I'm trying to tone up. But I'm exercising a lot so I have to reward myself somehow. Have a wonderful weekend if I don't blog again before! :)
