No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Perhaps a litte (PG-ish) non-worksafe, but only if you're especialy paranoid.

anyone mention Coalinga yet?
I thought about mentioning COWalinga, I really did. But then I also thought of the paper plant in Antioch, and the meat packing plant where I grew up, and seized up.

dang, paper plants must REALLY stink.
More than you could ever believe, especially given that cut wood smells pretty good.

Does anyone know anything about electricity usage? I haven't paid gas and electric since 1995, so I can't remember what is normal.
Last month (October) my electricity usage went from 168 and 184 in the months previous to 559kwh. Is that a lot for a one bedroom apartment with a gas hot water heater, electric stove and gas heat. I have one small tv, and 2 computers. I often fall asleep with the tv on, but I did that in August, September and October too.
Also, is 7 therms of gas "normal" for just a hot water heater on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Last month (October) my electricity usage went from 168 and 184 in the months previous to 559kwh.
I think that would only be normal if you had electric heat, or did a heck of a lot of baking.
Is your electric meter strictly for your apartment, or is it possible it's measuring other circuits, like the basement? (At my old apartment, the basement and exterior lights went through my circuit panel, so I paid for them. Since I made far more use of the basement, it was fair.)
Also, sometimes utilities estimate bills between visits, and they may have underestimated the last two months (or overestimated this month, but that seems less likely).
