Sophia, I'll have to look at my bills when I get home, but the direction of the change seems totally counterintuitive, unless you've been baking more or something. Can you go read your meter and actually compare to the reading on the bill? BGE sometimes did an estimate, and it got all fucked up at one point.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well, hopefully it is not measuring the basement, as I have no access to it (the other tenant does.) I am just afraid the whole damn thing is miswired and I am paying for part of her electricity (since this seems to coincide with the downstairs person moving in). We are also supposed to have completely separate hot water, but strangely, I can feel a drop in the hot water pressure if we are both taking a shower (in our respective apartments) at the same time.
I'll check out the meter, though...

Though I suspect his German best friend and the enormous quantities of alcohol they consumed may have played a part.
I also suspect this is what led to it ending up behind the furniture.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I want to build a rail gun. Will you help me?

As you can see from the huge jump in the summer, I am a total WHORE for air conditioning, and I'm willing to pay for it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a headache, and I'm arguing with my boss about combining SQL inner and outer joins in a single stored procedure with three tables. Can I go home?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Can I go home?
Yes. But only if I don't have to go to work today. (I really should already be there)

Now I just chased my other boss's dog down and took a piece of gum from her. Somehow, taking gum from puppies seems more fun than arguing about SQL.
