The gas bored

Posted in Life, Rants at 9:59 am by alby

I am off work today.  Whenever I’m off on a weekday and at home I try to get stuff organised for the house.  You know, meter readers to come, that sort of thing.

I had a letter a while back saying my gas boiler was due for its yearly service so please go online to book an appointment.

I did and found that they could come today.  Hurrah.  So it was duly booked.

I booked an “8am-1pm” slot so been up from far too early.  And I have other stuff to do.  So I phoned them to ask when they would get here.

“Oh sorry we’re busier than expected and we can’t come today”

Then they had the temerity to offer me next Tuesday at some point.

I’ve said it before but why can’t people just do what they said they would?  Now I need to find time some other week for this to get done.

Frankly I thinking of agreeing to the Tuesday appointment but then being, oh I don’t know, at work maybe.  Waste their sodding time as much as mine has been wasted.

Grr.
