Applications are such a tedious thing to do. Whoever thought of them had a reservoir of patience and sure expects everyone else to have that same kind of patience in filling them out. I mean one is fine, but when you have to do like 4 or 5 of them in one day! And that's not the worse part. Not knowing whether you might get the job. It really makes you wonder if you should just fill up as many as you can, and see who respond, or use that effort to fill up a few good ones and pray that those get through. I guess both strategies can be argued to bring success.
I finally managed to call my electricity provider to ask them why they haven't billed me in 6 months, and guess what??? They can't bill me until I've set up an account with them! How crazy is that? I of course had no issue with that, I mean I had not set up my account in 6 months, and nothing happened. The only risk I run is my electricity being cut off if their technician comes to check my meter, and I don't think that would happen anytime soon since they got my address wrong. Oddly enough, when I tried to be the honest citizen that I am, and gave them my correct address they insisted that I was wrong, and that I check the meter myself to see if I had got it correct. No way am I going to check some meter, which I don't even know where it is. You would think that a big electrical company like them would have thought of a better system right??
