or, maybe now, heat

Finally managed to get someone in to service the oil burner this morning. At 8:15 this morning. Before we were out of bed this morning.

Got the boiler fixed, oh whenever ago, but hadn't actually fired it up. Saturday morning was a little chill, so...no go, blower motor starts up and shuts off. Phone call - no, it's not working, but no, it's not urgent enough to pay weekend rates, please call us Monday morning with an idea when you're going to show up.

Anyway, guy shows up, farts around for a while, and after he leaves, I notice oil dripping all over the basement floor. He's gone, call back (wait on hold, wait on hold), he eventually comes back. Bad oil pump, another $$ please. Oh, and you should get a cleanout, I didn't do a cleanout because you didn't ask for a cleanout, and I'm too busy to do a cleanout today, please call the office. Argh.

But, anyway, heat, without oil leaking all over the basement floor. :/

And if the gas company had their shit together, we'd be on gas now, and not throwing good money after oil. Fffffffkkkk!
