Maybe I’ll leave all the lights on

I haven’t been staying very on top of my bills lately (my mail pile is a little scary); more just looking at what I had sent the month before to whichever company, and sending them the same or maybe more. Yesterday I actually cracked open my newest electric company “bill”, and apparently I have a $400 credit balance with them at the moment. I think it would be neat if I could go around just spending random gobs of that accumulated electricity. Want to zap that slow old lady in line at the Safeway with a few volts for trying to use a ball of lint as a coupon? That’ll be $.50, please. A couple of amps at an intersection junction box to make that light change faster? $1.25 sounds reasonable. Some sort of electric petting machine to placate this cat that is glommed to me like some sort of growth while I’m trying to work? I would gladly pay $5 an hour for that service.

how did you manage to overpay your power bill by $400??

how about a zap to any dealer who doesn’t throw you exactly what you need?

it’s called sending a few $200 checks when your bill is only like $50 a month for some reason instead of the $180 it usually is.

You could try getting the cat a Cat Magnet from the local petsmart. Our marmalade tabby would spend the entire day scraping himself over, under, and around the thing if he didn’t have to pry himself away now and then to get food and keep Moose from humping him.
