The $%*! frustration thread

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Ouch. I hear that more than you'll ever know.

My mom went shopping and I was able to eat two pieces of chicken! Yaaay! First real food in almost forever. The second side is that Fitchburg Public Schools has closed its doors.

I totally read that as "I was able to eat two pieces of children! Yaaay!" and was totally going to call you my hero, teaflower. Anyways, yes indeed, being sickies or being around sickies sucks.

Was there something wrong with Fitchburg Schools?

Was there something wrong with Fitchburg Schools?

Let me put it bluntly. Unitil, the company that is in charge of most of this area and part of NH, is a dick. They charge too much for power and heat and here in Fitchburg, half of the city lacks power. The area where the high school, at least, is one of those areas. On top of this, there used to be a whole bunch of forest around the school.

Not so much anymore.

So no power, fallen wires and tree limbs under snow that came down last night... no school. Mind you, the neighboring rival town, Leominster, (look up longest school rivalries, Fitchburg v. Leominster is up there) has National Grid. They had 100% power yesterday. They didn't go to school today, however, because it snowed. John Fitch Highway, the big highway that leads to just about everywhere here in Fitchburg, wasn't even PLOWED from what I understand of the situation!

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Holy shit, that sucks. Unitil needs to go. 'Nuff said.

[teaflower]

It does! We pay only for electricity here in the complex I live in (I love being poor sometimes). It's, not that much.

Until you get to the delivery fee.

Townsend, one of the towns that has Unitil, doesn't have power. They do, however, have septic systems. They can't CRAP without fear of their house, like, exploding or something.

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Townsend? Did you spell that right?

[teaflower]

Yes. Townsend. At one point, it was probably the last town, thus Town's End or Towns End became Townsend. Google Townsend. There's a lot going on there.

I was just wondering b/c a friend of mine is surnamed "Townsend" and it seemed a bit odd.

My friend just got in a car wreck.

The friend that told me that "Going 10 miles over the speed limit wasn't speeding."

Hope your friend pulls out okay. Jeez, what is it with car accidents this week?

He says he's fine, just his car's totaled, or should I say, his mom's car.

He's okay right now, wait 'til after the maternal wrath and ask him again.

No, I think his dad is going to kill him, if he already hasn't.

*snort* Not as reckless as my brother (not the same one that was mentioned in the GL thread). When he's angry, keep him off the road.
