Before I left for Illinois for my sister's birthday party, Vectren (the local gas company) called me to say they wanted to come and check out my meter because it wasn't showing much usage. We scheduled for today. The rep told me it would be an 8-4 call. I assured her I would make it a point to be here. And I was. They weren't. I had no big plans to be gone today, but I even stayed away from cleaning in back rooms (although I was in the mood to do so) because I feared I wouldn't be able to hear the guy knocking on the door. Ugh!
When Vectren first called, I was concerned that I would somehow be hit with a big catch-up bill if they found that I had used more gas than the meter was showing, but I slowly became aware that it is to my advantage if the meter is broken. They have to be able to document gas used. If the meter isn't working properly, they can't. In my own defense, I have been gone quite a bit...but the furnace was still on (though turned down), as was the water heater, although demand was less. I'm not sure whether the meter is working or not...but the Vectren technician didn't show up today, so it will take a little longer to find out!
Radio club Christmas party is tomorrow evening. I have things I have to do for that. Hope it goes well!
