A call out: Are you getting blank bills?

April 25, 2008 · 2 Comments

The NWT Power Corporation has not charged me one dollar for electricity since December. Instead I get blank bills, which are incomprehensible but don’t request any payment.

It’s apparently some kind of computer error, and they “haven’t forgotten about me.”

Has this happened to anyone else? Please call the CBC station (867) 777-7617, as Loren McGuiness is preparing a news story about it.

It’s the hot-stepping Qilamik guy! He looks fast and nimble, no?

According to Google, Qilamik means “to be in hurry.”

“Welcome traveller! Approach, but know…all who cross this bridge must answer to the raven troll!”

“I will allow passage…but first you must answer this riddle!

“What is the food ravens find most delicious?”

“Old pizza boxes from the Roost!! That’s the right answer…carry on…”
