There is nothing worse than being haunted by your past, but as we all know, sometimes that happens.  I received a phone call from our phone company this week letting me know that they found an old, unpaid account that was linked to my name from five years ago, and that I would have to settle up with them before I could use long distance again.

Not only was I frustrated, but what made it worse, was that the bill was from when I lived with a roommate that racked up the long distance bill after I moved out.  The phone company wouldn’t do anything about it, so it will be something that I will need to deal with in the near future.

In the mean time, I still need some sort of long distance phone service as I live out in a small town in the middle of nowhere.  Thankfully, I was able to find a company that offered VOIP that was happy to have me, and I won’t feel as isolated out here anymore.  Thank goodness.
