Guster was Amazing!

Talk about bad timing... When I got to the concert to see Guster and Jack's Mannequin on Tuesday I was pretty excited.  Just as we found the right spot in the center of the room to wait for the first band to come on, I got a call on my cell phone.  Apparently, my water bill (in Phoenix) had a past due amount.  The guy on the other line told me I was scheduled to have my water shut off tomorrow but that if I could get payment in by 6PM (I assumed AZ time since it was about 8PM Eastern when I got the call)... If I paid within the hour, basically, they could cancel the shutoff.  But of course the guy couldn't take payment, I had to call an automated system.  BUT I didn't have my account number (hi i'm at a concert) so I sat on hold through while missing the first 4 songs of the show trying to get ahold of the guy again to get my account number.  Luckily, I was able to get ahold of Philip (roommate) who was able to get the bill paid on time for me.  It took another song and a half for me to kick my frustration and stress to start soaking up some positive music vibes.  Thanks APS, for ruining 5.5 live Jack's Mannequin songs.  Good thing you didn't make me miss Guster...  I would have REALLY been upset.

On a side note I should probably pay my bills on time.  I still blame APS for not having a modern online bill pay system.  I'm all about making that shit automatic!

Get back to the blog!

So, its been about six months since my last post.  I'm working a temporary job in Tampa, Florida for the next five or six months.  I absolutely love the area!  Maybe I'll try to find a job down here.  I am staying in the SoHo District of South Tampa.  My drive to work  runs along the length of Bayshore Drive which happens to be the longest continuous sidewalk in the world!  Its a great place to work out.  I have an extra bedroom here if anyone wants to come visit!  Guster/Jack's Mannequin concert next week!
