So I called the cable company today after I found out from the "connections" thing that set up my new account that the date for them to come out changed to the 4th.  That's not acceptable.  I explained to the nice man on the phone that I am taking classes online and I need to have my internet (and cable and phone) hooked up as soon as possible.  He checked and now they'll be out there on the 28th. <G>  Maybe it was the online classes thing or maybe I used my feminie wiles on him.

In an effort to cut costs, I will be moving within the next week.  My roommates and I have found a nice four bedroom apartment for $699 a month.  This is about half of what we were paying at the condo.

We signed the lease today and will start moving stuff over there this weekend.  The big items, like beds, couch, TVs, etc will move on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

I'm going to have to switch back to Time Warner from Directv.  Not that I don't like Directv but the patio is not facing the right direction and if we tried to put a dish there, the signal would be blocked by a hill and another apartment building.  Plus in order to have Directv at the apartment building we'd have to pay an additional $100 security deposit.

I did get the utilities taken care of today.  It was interesting when I called the gas company and found out that I had a bill from when I moved four years ago for $36.14 that got written off as a charge off cause I didn't pay it.  I didn't know about it, how could I pay it?  I had to pay that before i could get the account in my name.  I suppose I could have let one of the others do it but one of the guys may be moving soon to like Georgia, one of the guys hasn't ever had a bill in his name and my one friend can't get gas in her name for some reason.  

Anyway, Time Warner says it will be the 2nd before they can come out.  We're going to call the guy the apartment recommended and see if he can come out sooner.  Otherwise there might be a four or five day lull in my internet access.  Unless I go to Starbucks or Barnes and Noble.
