Had a problem with Gas Company billing.
Didn’t receive my bill for November.
Kept checking my e-mail. It showed no
amount due.
Had a problem with an online order I made
several days ago. Never received a confir-
mation even though they had withdrawn
the money from my bank account.
A light keeps blinking on my computer,
and I haven’t a clue as to what it portends,
but I expect trouble is looming.
I’m going on 74-years old and have some
physical disabilities. I sure don’t need all this
mental anguish adding to the issues I already
have.
I made several calls, and sent out e-mails to
address my mounting difficulties. The Gas
Company located the problem with my account
and promised to correct it. (Ha! That remains to
be seen.)
I received an e-mail back from the company
about my order assuring me that it had been
received and would be shipped shortly. I
requested that it be sent FedEx instead of the
US Postal Service due to their unreliable and
incompetent service.
All of this added to my intense anxiety of yester-
day when my Kansas City Chiefs played a back
and forth lousy game with the Atlanta Falcons.
Fortunately, due to a missed field goal by the
Falcons in the closing seconds of the game, the
Chiefs lucked out and won 17 to 14. I chain
smoked cigarettes and wound up with frayed
nerves anyway.
I suppose I should be grateful that I haven’t lost
a job or contracted the Corona virus yet. I should
be jumping for joy that our current President was
voted out of office and only has 20-some days
before a new administration takes the reigns.
I sometime wish I was in my twenties again when
I’d blow it all off, and could give a good shit
about anything. But in my old age and waning
days, I need a big glass of prune juice every
morning to take care of that.
