I've got my hot water back....

So what, you say?

Well, while I was at work last week, the gas company refitted my house with a new meter and, in the process, inadvertently cut off my gas flow. So, after using the residual supply of hot water on Friday, I was shocked on Saturday to step into the shower and receive nothing but cold water.

And so, when I tried to call the company over the weekend, I got the attendant saying to the effect "Except for extreme emergencies, we don't work weekends."

Arghh!!!!

I called again this Monday morning and they were very quick to respond. I got a hot shower and everything is right with the world. (Sarcasm intended).
