Feh

I've been back home for less than 24 hours, and already I feel weighed down and depressed. Much of that stems from the number of responsibilities that climbed back onto my shoulder as soon as I got home, and wouldn't be helped by a permanent location change.

This. Will. Not. Do.

As tempting as it is (and has been in the past) to run away from it all, that's not my style. Instead, I'm casting a critical eye around at things that need to be fixed, dealt with, delegated permanently, automated, or some combination thereof.

Something tells me that I'm going to have a very long winter.

Thank $deity for small miracles

Two years ago, we shut down one of our telecommunication carriers, for various complicated reasons.

For two years, I have been trying to convince the various agencies that bill telecommunications carriers that really, that company doesn't owe them any money, because the bills are based on the idea that we have customers and income and other such things. It has been an exercise in applying my head to the top of my desk repeatedly, with substantial force.

About a month ago, one wonderful, lovely, absolutely fantastic angel replied to my letter saying that really, we don't owe anything because we don't exist with a note saying that she was very sorry, but they get their information from Agency XYZ, and I really should contact that Agency and get them to deactivate the company in their systems. So, I did. And I used her phrasing.

In the pile o' paper that stacked up while I was gone are several more invoices for that company. However, all but one of them have a bunch of credits listed on them, and are no longer demanding money out of me. (In fact, two of them have small credit balances, meaning that I didn't owe them the last payment I made either.)

Yay!
