Online Billing Systems Are Confusing

 OK this is why I hate online billing. It's a mess some days and takes a while to get it all the right way around. This is page 1 of the invoice and shows a $120.75 credit.
 And page 2 of the invoice shows the same $120.75 credit. Page 3 is just information on how and where to pay the bill.
Here is my account page on their web site and it shows I owe them $42.57... So what is it? Do I owe money, have I got a credit for $120.75 or is it something completely different?

This started with me wanting to see what the new billing amount per month will be and I clicked download bill. The statement above came up. The invoice with the amount I wanted to know has vanished and I'm very confused.

This is of course typical of instant online billing systems these days. They don't wait for everything to be processed and some times you think it's payed off when in reality you owe them money. Other times you end up giving them way more money than you needed to give them.

Sure it all balances out in the end but when you have as little as I have it's kind of nice to NOT pay more than you need to pay and so on. So at this moment I have no idea if I am going to carry over a $42.57 balance till next month and pay more than normal or next months bill is already payed due to a credit.

I can't talk to a human as well, as it's Sunday and no one is working. Not that they would know either, they can only go by what is on the system and they literally know no more than I do at this point.

The only reason I am carrying over a balance is that I am dead broke this month as I have had 2 months of much higher than normal expenses. I am also trying to keep some money in my account as I will by the end of the month need to get some things that I just can't live without.

It all works out in the end as next month is extra money month and I will have about $150 extra to spend and I will also NOT have the extra expenses I had this month and last month. So It's all good. The interest will be $0.80 if I cray it over and here is the kicker - I will be paid the 29th and the interest will be put on the same day as this is owing by the 28th... This is how life works when you don't have a lot of money LOL. It's all good though. After all I had some fun and if I did not do that I could have paid the $40 as well.

BTW I put $2.57 on this bill before I looked at the invoice so it's at best $40 I still owe. If I remember when this is sorted out, I'll do an update. Until then, I have to say I am enjoying the HELL out of my Cable TV and Internet 150.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead.

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
