My "Efficiency"<\/p><\/div>\n

I received a report from my local electrical company in which they showed me how efficient I’ve been with my electricity.\u00a0 The blue dots (top line) show all my neighbors, me included, in an average.\u00a0 The gray line in the middle is supposed to be me.\u00a0 And the green line (mostly at the bottom) is my “efficient neighbors”. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ll notice my peak moment in August\/September.\u00a0 That’s when the Ex was still living with me and conveniently lost his job.\u00a0 Running my A\/C, AND a fan under his desk, AND on his laptop all day.\u00a0 Don’t get me started on how much water he was using to compost our food & garden trash into dirt.\u00a0 At first I thought it was selfish of him to take both compost bins with him when he moved out, but then I relish the idea of “her” water bill going up and up as he does to her what I no longer have to deal with.\u00a0 *grin*<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Aaannyway… you’ll notice the rapid decline as me and the boys live without my ex and I live without my kids every other week.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m screwing up the average so bad I’m BELOW my “efficient neighbors”!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ya gotta love the ability to mess with statistics! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see this chart next year in August!!
