Friday: The Stupid (It Burns!!!!)

After dinner at Wendy's, I tried to call their 800 number to let TPTB know that I felt their employees had handled an asshole customer very well. I say "tried" because apparently my phone service had been temporarily disconnected for past-due payments. I was angrily curious about that, since I was sure that I'd made a payment around Christmas.

I came home and dug my latest bill from my stack of papers and looked at it. Now, keep in mind that I pretty much all of my bills online or over the phone, with the exception of my rent. As such, I pay the vast majority of them with my second paycheck of the month (the first goes almost entirely towards rent). Unfortunately, it turns out that the last phone payment I'd made was right before I flew to Houston for Thanksgiving.

Oops.

It was no big deal, though: I looked up the closest AT&T store off their website and immediately drove over and paid off the full bill. But I'm still a little ticked at myself for being stupid like that. Ah, well. 'Tis life.
