The Heat Is On
Rowhouse Logic has been without heat for seven days up until yesterday. So glad to hear the heat is back. I can't imagine what that must have been like. Well, actually, I can, now that I think about it. Like an idiot I ran out of heating oil once. No, wait. Twice. That was no fun, especially since I didn't have hot water, either, but the deprivation didn't last seven days.
The gas was turned off because of a mixup of account numbers. Anybody can make a mistake, but it takes real bureaucracy to make an outage last seven days. I’m sure they're very proud. Reminds me of the Bouvier sisters on The Simpsons: “On some days we don't let the line move at all.” Beat. “Yeah, we call those ‘weekdays’.”
