Please pull the knife from my chest!!!!

As expensive as California is I am learning really fast that Big cities in Canada is like living in South County but without the scenery and all the other perks that would come with living in an area like that. In the winter its like living in Anaheim and paying Irvine prices. Edmonton reminds me of Fullerton and Norwalk smashed together. It's hard to explain but I am getting off topic.

I just received my fucking Electric/Gas bill today for Dec 14 through Jan 15th the bill was 323.09. Talk about getting f*cked in the ass!!!!

I felt a knife plunged through my heart when my eyes peered over the bill size of the federal budget in my eyes.

The government in their infinite wisdom decide they don't have to send someone to read the meters every month...oh no, we can just estimate what your usage is and if your are under we will refund you the difference on your next bill, and if your over will tack it on of course. SO because it was the holidays the utilities companies decided we can estimate triple...CHRIST!! I call them up today to ask whats up, is this a mistake how do you do this and its just as I said they estimate and will send some one out every now and then. The gas was actual this time but the electricity which was 15 bucks last month is now 150 bucks. Can we say WTF!!!

After a few miutes with the nice lady who put up with my rants I found out that you can call in your own meter readings in every month and the estimation will be crunched with your numbers and totally be more accurate. I ask, "What keeps people form lying to you people about their reads"? She says people still come out and check but its is still random, so you may fool them some of the time just not all the time. Talk about weird agendas, I never knew we could even do that.

I am just so pissed I just don't know what to say the lady on the phone even said it seemed to be an unusual high estimation. Well, when I got off the phone I went online learn to read the meters and wont let that happen again. We should really be diligent in checking up on our own meter people back in the states who knows if you are getting screwed or not. I'm learning why people try to escape this country its a classic your either on the rich side or the poor side and that includes the middle class on the poor side. I really hope for change here.

Far as this bill goes, I just had my life murdered. I think I have 2 or 3 left out of my 9. Thanks for letting me vent, This bill just fucking sucked! I had to speak out!
