See icon, add "company" to the end of it.

In all the hullabaloo of moving in and starting school and making ~chore charts~, we lost and did not pay the power bill.

So they shut off our power, and it's going to cost about $50 from each of us to get it back on.

In the long run, this is probably not a big deal -- I'm about to go drop off a $2000 check so that I can eat on-campus this semester, and $50 pales a little next to that -- and it's a good learning experience, but. Man. I mean, I just wrote two checks totaling about $50 yesterday for groceries and the water bill. It's frustrating -- and I'm frustrated at myself as much as at anyone else.

In lighter news, my self-concert (five minute theatrical "introduction to yourself") in Acting went over well.

That sucks! I'm sure this won't happen again, but if you want a suggestion: When I've lived in shared spaces, we had a system where each roommate was responsible for one bill (electric, water, phone, etc). That person's name was on the account, so they received the bill, divvied it up, collected money from the other roommates, and sent it off. That way there's a specific person paying attention to when things are due, rather than the whole house having to think about it.
