alien invasion II

[hoosiermama]

Now I am really peeved. I finally--after a month of freezing--paid enough of my gas bill to have my service restored yesterday morning. This is after seeking aid from multiple sources without success (I just don't qualify either because I'm still married to someone who makes a lot of money, I make just a tiny bit over the limit, or funds have just run out by this point). The gas company earlier had offered to drop part of the reconnect fee--but of course, rescinded that offer when I was paying them. So they were supposed to reconnect my gas sometime today between 7:30 and noon; I had to be present (although of course I didn't have to be here when they disconnected it) so I got up early, etc. So it's now 2 pm, and they haven't shown up. No one is in the office to call and check on this (I tried) and the only thing I can do is wait until Monday--and I'll have to stay home from work to do this!! I'm beginning to believe I am cursed in this whole heating thing. I was looking forward to actually cooking this weekend, to drying my clothes in the dryer, to being warm....
