$637.... I have a 2 bedroom apt in queens. I’m furious

funny

ACD1- I’ve been down the meter number checking road. But the building was absolutely tossed together half-asses and I think my apartment may have originally been planned to be part of 1 or 2 other apartments as a bigger floor plan, so wiring probably sucks. So I have to get an electrician in, disconnect every single thing in the house (apparently just unplugging things doesn’t suffice??🤷🏻‍♂️) and then go see if the meter is still moving. Then once I have my answer there... nobody has been able to tell me what happens if I am paying for someone else’s electric or what they can do about it.

So when you see a dude on the news throwing bricks at Con Ed trucks and cursing out his landlord and getting arrested, that will be me.

Got mine, $121 😩 The highest I’ve ever paid.

I just checked mine, it was 70 bucks.

Mine tripled. Think my meter's jacked, but I'm not sure how I'd prove it.

Mine doubled. “You used 100% more electricity than you did last month.” Great

I was away last month and got my ConEd bill for 50$. My fridge was the only thing on... Idk what happened. All they said was "Electricity is expensive in the summer"

Fuuck

Ours was $222

$450 🤦‍♀️

Omg!

Seriously! Mine should be arriving any minute now and I don’t even want to see it. Last month it was $80. I expect that in the summer but this heatwave that we just had? 😩

Just shy of $300.. one bedroom with PTAC units.

This question was asked in my company bowl: Be brutally honest. Are you more or less productive WFH?

Everyone in the comments said more productive at home and I'm curious if this bowl would have a different consensus. I'm way more productive in the office, although I don't go that often, so maybe it's the change of scenery that helps.

I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout.

I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?
