Apparently, I should be checking my mail all the time. I had set up direct debit for my condo assessment fees, but I believe at some point in the last 6 months, something changed, and I haven't been paying my assessment fees, or they haven't been withdrawing my assessment fees. And I was wondering how I was getting all this money in my checking account. But I had no idea, since I'm of the set it up, forget it type of guy. Until today that is. I finally head over to the post office to pick up some mail that has a return receipt required, and when I get it I think it's really stupid because it's from my building. But when I open it and see that it's about my non payment, I guess it makes sense that they'd require a return receipt. But still, couldn't they have slipped it under my door? Or called me down to sign for it at the front desk? Instead of having to drive down the street to the post office to get it? Really? But now I guess I need to open my bills all the time now. Go figure. Probably should have been doing that all along, instead of letting it pile up on the kitchen counter. Anyway, Taste of Chicago was alright last night, really busy, but not too hot, which was nice, actually it got kind of chilly as the sun went down. Nothing too special to write home about though. Headed out to Tracy's tonight, do a little work to see if we can get iChat up and running. Oh, and my condo building also finally has a newsletter, in which I've learned that we're switching cable providers, so come October, goodbye to RCN and hello to Innovation Installations Inc. I don't think the company actually exists, and the name seems a little sketchy to me, since the assessment checks are supposed to go to an office on 58 Innovation Way, but we'll be getting satellite service through Dish Network. This, in a word, is awesome. Their HD lineup is pretty stellar, and looks like all the locals, including UPN, is available, although with the CW coming up this fall, not sure if that's going to be an issue. And supposedly faster internet connections. All good things. Hopefully. If I pay my assessment fees.
