So, I’m here working while the tech is in the cellar. Yeah, the oil burner tech *sigh* My heat is set at 66 as usual, but since they “fixed” it the other day it’s been reading 71-72. Of course, they say that’s normal to have a 4-6 degree differential. Maybe for their house, but not for mine if it’s 40 degrees out. If it’s set at 66, it reads 66, plain and simple. So, I went down this morning to check the oil burner and was down for about 10 minutes and it went on and off 4 times. Ok, something is very wrong, so I called and got some snotty chick who obviously resented having to work on a Sunday. Took several hours for them to get to me, but I guess I’m lucky I had heat as opposed to those who don’t. He’s replacing some box of some sort, I don’t even want to know. Just give me the damned bill and cool my house off, because 72 degrees is good if you’re 72 years old. At my age it’s HOT.

I actually have now shut off the heat as it reads 75. The box they were going to use to replace mine was defective so they’ll be back tomorrow. I’m sitting here just about naked; it’s that hot.

Talked to Eddie finally and he gave me some good advice in helping my father with his computer so tomorrow morning I’ll go over and pray this will fix things. Oh yeah, I love you Eddie!

Happy Birthday, Summer! Hope you get some special lovin’ tonight!

Servers are working fine, so am less stressed and work is clearing out. Server that was totally dead (load average: 0.96, 1.09, 1.31) is now working fine and dandy. Server that died yesterday has been fine (load average: 0.20, 0.25, 0.26) but it took a few phone calls and one supervisor to get it fixed. Server where I plan to move a lot of sites (load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) is obviously fine plus their tech support really, REALLY rocks. Other 2 servers are fine but I’m going to move sites from there as well. Things just need to calm down a little more.

Oh, here is a link for a 14 year old who should not drive a Shelby
