Working for a Living Every Once in a While, You Get to Win

Man in uniform messing around with electric meter for the laundry I share with the main house. I throw coat on over my sweats and go outside.

Me: Whatchya doing?

Electric Company Guy: I'm here to disconnect #2 (my house) and #3 (the laundry room).

Me: No Way! I paid my bills, all I owe is the current amount!

Electric Company Guy: I got a disconnect order for #2 and #3, have you got receipts?

Me: I paid online, I'll get the info and my phone and we'll talk to the Electric Company.

(much later, having been passed thru two departments, three different people and forty minutes of elevator music)

Electric Company: I'm very sorry, we've fixed everything on your account, we've cancelled the disconnect order for #2 and we've issued a reconnect order on #3, our apologies for the mistake.

*verybiggrin*

Every once in a while, David gets to beat up on Goliath.
