so weird...yesterday (the first day of spring break) i was able to sleep late and hang out in a calm space, but today really seems like the first day of spring break! even though i had to be sure to get up at 8:00 AM to meet the piedmont natural gas worker, i felt so great!
note, however, that the rep from the gas company had a window from 8:00 to 12:00, so i was up by 7:30 to make sure that they didn't mess up like yesterday, but the guy didn't get here until 11:45. at least i had the comfy pink chair and a warm westie to nap with until then. my favorite part of that whole drama (of course there is drama--it's me!) is that the guy had to do two things: (1) turn on the gas for heat, and (2) light the furnace. he called me down to the basement (ps--if anyone needs to store a body, this is the perfect place...scary!!!) to show me that the furnace pipe was broken. so the landlord said, "well, i'm sure that they left the gas on for the heat, but just didn't light the furnace--that's what i told them to do because my technician is coming this week". yeah, well, they did NOT leave the gas on for the heat, whatever all that means. so, we're all freezing again.
it was nice, however, to listen to the gas company worker make professional contacts with the construction guys across the street after he left my house. if i had known then what i do now, i would have added "doesn't follow directions" from the window (since i had it open to get some warmth in the apartment...)
seriously? once again, if i did my job like these people, i would be gone within a week...nice to know that there are jobs where you can be completely ineffective and still earn a paycheck...
