Singing In The Shower
Yes I did take care of some business yesterday. I made so many calls my cell phone minutes have plummeted down into the hi and bye zone.
Talked to really nice woman at Entergy and she gave me my account number which I seem to have no handy record of and I used that number to set up online billing. Which is a really handy thing to have going on and I anticipate freeing up a lot of time previously wasted on licking stamps when comes that future day when I actually get a bill from Entergy. I would expect that to happen some time shortly after I get the electricity turned back on at Rocheblave, which has now been missing for one week shy of 5 months.
I did some emailing to Entergy as well. Told them about the streetlight being out in front of my house and I received a prompt response and here it is:
Dear Mr. Louis:
Thank you for bringing this information to our attention. A service request has been issued on your behalf to have this streetlight repaired. Our normal commit time to repair a streetlight is three (3) business days. These lights should be repaired by April 3rd. Entergy is still experiencing an extreme back log of street lights in your area. We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing in your area at this time.
Did that say (3) three business days or (3) three business months?
I am not so much missing the streetlight per se, but the streetlight being on is a real sign that you are at least connected back to the grid. Up to the pole in front of your house anyway.
I'm doing some other stuff regarding my New Orleans viability that more or less feels like a dance, to a dude that doesn't really dance, except in the bathroom, which is like singing in the shower, except nobody can hear you do it, unless you grunt when you dance, and if you do, you shouldn't.
I'm going back to work Monday, with my old boss, who has sorely been missing me, and I'll get back into a groove, being a house painter/trim carpenter, and everything gonna be cool in this world gone whack. The truth is--New Orleans really is a heckuva place to bring your family, for a camping trip.
