Waiting for the gas man...

Yep, that's what I'm doing. Waiting for the gas man to call my grandparent's house, then, when he gets no answer cause they're not there, call my house to tell me he's at my grandparent's house and wants to be let in. So I'll go over there and let him in so he can look at their gas furnace and see if it can be fixed or if it needs to be replaced.

Oh, did I mention that while I'm waiting my family is out of town visiting my sick grandfather, who's doing quite badly at the moment? Or that I've been up all night at work and have the options either of A, staying up until the gas man calls(which could be anytime today); or B, going to sleep and hoping the ringing phone wakes me up(I'm a heavy sleeper) so I can interrupt my sleep and go over there to let him in.

Yay! Ringing phone!

Fuck. Just my uncle, telling me(needlessly) about the second crawl space under my grandparent's house that the gas man already knows about, so that I can then tell the gas man about it. Plus he's not even at the hosptial yet, so I couldn't get an update on my grandfather.

Oh no, my life's not too difficult...perish the thought.
