strike 3! oil man came back, filled up the wrong tank AGAIN! had to leave to get the oil truck and siphon out what he just pumped in. ahhhhh
oil man is in brockton. no one gave him our messages. meanwhile, i’m getting frostbite in the living room.
omg. Cape Verde Oil filled our upstairs landlords’ tank instead of ours, but charged us. It’s still 50 and we’re heatless & theyre gone.
We ran out of oil! And the oil truck is not reliable! A sorry fate. No working-from-home today; it’s 57 inside.
