<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: VintageMusclecar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I get to spend today waiting on the gas company to show up (were supposed to be here @ 8:00) to dig up my back yard and bust up part of my patio to replace &amp; update a leaking gas line.

Joy. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] </div></div>

Just had to conclude this...that is, at least &quot;conclude&quot; for today;

Waited around until after 11:00--no sign of the crew. Called the scheduling guy, he said he'd call the crew to find out where they were and get right back to me. 11:30 he calls back, crew says they got hung up on another job and wouldn't be able to make it today. Scheduling guy apologizes, we agree to re-schedule for Saturday morning.

One full morning wasted.

3:00: I'm sitting here online looking for parts and hear trucks roll up outside. Take a peek out the window and there's a mini backhoe on a trailer getting ready to unload. I walk outside and ask them if they're here for this job, guy says yes. I informed him that I'd spoken to the scheduling guy and everything was now set for Saturday--<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;Nobody said anything about that to me.&quot;</span>

Why does that not surprise me.

Crew takes a peek at the job, says <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;It probably won't be us, we're not going to work Saturday&quot;</span> and heads back to their trucks.

I've got an uneasy feeling about all this. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

To summarize: Day pretty much wasted for me, and Rachel's none too amused (rightfully so). Not much of a Valentine's day for her either.
