Good hump day morning folks.
I get to fight with the local natural gas company today. I went over to my dad's house and noticed the central heating system was not heating. I checked all the simple things and then called the repair company. He determined the gas has been shut off. The gas meter is a "smart meter" that the gas company can turn off remotely. The bills are paid, the account was transfered to my name there is no reason to have shut off the gas. I never even dreamed the gas was cut off.
I am going to insist they pay for the service call. The good news is we did not have any real cold weather.
I had fun with AT&T yesterday trying to sort through their billing mess. I had transfered my dads cell phone number to my plan to keep the number active for a while. I shut off that number yesterday. It is not worth the money it costs just to keep that number. All I have received is telemarketer calls anyway.
