STUPID APS!
Yesterday when I got home I found a little note from APS saying pay your bill or we are shutting you off May 9th! What I say!? I pay my bills Mr. APS Man! So I go in log into my account and see that I have a $0 BALANCE - therefore bills paid. But I do notice in my short Victory dance that the account numbers do not match, so I call APS deciding its just some crazy mistake. APS asks for the account number on the notice and then my address and she says well miss the account number matches the address, but not your name. I say, yes this much I know... So she now questions me as to why I never had APS switched over into my name when I moved in and assumes I am living off someones account who has not turned it off. I tell her that I did and that I have lived here since September and have been paying the bills, so I am completely confused. I then remind her that my account number is different from the one I have on the notice, so she says, ok whats that number? Again I give her the number and she says well miss this account has been closed since January 2008. At this point I panic a bit thinking identity theft and then tell her thats not possible cause I swear I am sitting in my apartment right now and I never called to close it so??? I am baffled now and at a loss for words which is probably good for her. ;)
Then she puts me on hold for 27 minutes and comes back with this amazing news!
Apparently anyone can call APS and say they are moving into your place and by default close your account! Are you kidding me! I am feeling a bit punk'ed right about now, lol, and tell her that's ridiculous I should have to call and say I am moving or they should verify it with the complex - something! She assures me that this does happen and she is very sorry - well wow I feel great now, thanks! Good thing is I find it all funny, but insane - until she then informs me I will be getting a bill in 2 weeks that will be for the last 4 months! HAHAHA this invisible roommate of mine has been paying my APS, you would think I would notice, but I have been so busy and it gets debited out so I thought I was paying, lol. Tax check can come any day now..... really. So I kindly say, ok cool thank you and we depart.
Then my smarty pants mom says "well Rae if this girl has been paying your bill, hasn't she noticed she has been without power for 4 months?"
"Ah.... good point mom, good point...."
I hope there will be more to this cause it is moments like this that make me want to live on the beach where there is no APS :)

It's not to the conference, the meeting, or camp.
Come follow Me to the darkest places
Come to the hurting, the howling, hallow faces,
Come with Me to the addicted, convicted, and caught,
Come with your light, run with your salt,
Come to the sorrow; the suicide tree
Come to the stable,
Come follow Me
