I am sick of electricity, all it seems to do is cause me endless grief. Well
I suppose I shouldn't blame electricity but this last year all I seem to have is hassles from electrically powered devices. Washing machines, Fridges, Pool filters, Computers and the list goes on.
I have already gone over part one of the story and  I was waiting for this month's bill to arrive because I knew that they had screwed up in disconnecting me and were going to hit me with some kind of penalty fee and today the bill arrives.
First the whack me with a R344 disconnection fee and a R344 reconnection fee. They also increase the deposit I have to pay but to add insult to injury they don't add this onto the current balance (where you don't get charged interest) they put it onto the 30 day balance where they do charge interest.
I am in the process of composing a letter to the council disputing this and will post when I get a reply.
If I wasn't so horribly addicted to the Internet I would wish for the simple life, all of a sudden living off-grid looks really good.
