The Mail Waits On Me
R. Alex Whitlock
Considering I am one week and two days away from getting married, you would think that I would have more pressing concerns on my mind.
I'm not sure how, but the thought occured to me at work today that I haven't collected my mail in a little while. The truth is that most of my personal mail and deliveries are sent to Camille's place because I trust the mail to get there and stay there more than I do here. All of my bills but my power bill are paid automatically.
But if I haven't checked my mail in a while, it means I haven't paid my power bill in a while. I tried to remember the last time I actually collected my mail and I could not remember a time this year. Could I be over two months behind? I was at work at the time and I tried to get back to work and wait until I got off work, but it became all-consuming. I just had to exactly how far behind I was on the power bill.
Breath-bated, I checked.
I apparently paid my power bill within the last month.
Sure enough, I get home and there is only one power bill in my mailbox, due a week from now for the usual amount, give or take.
I'm thinking I should have some sort of calendar program remind me to check the mail once a week or so.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
