Thats often the problem with the "extended service" guarantees, they often just do the minimum to get it working again, quite often the minimum isn't sufficient as there is another problem, instead of getting it right the first time, they'll just keep on coming back fixing it bit by bit. What make of boiler is it?

Back when I was a pot head I had this mystery reoccurring illness. I would get body and leg aches and wake up several times overnight literally drenched in sweat to the point where I had to towel dry and change my sheets. It took me ages to realize that I only got this "illness" when I failed to score.

Well again no, the guy is being very good, even gave me his personal mobile number so that I wouldn't have to go through all the rigmarole with the Bord Gais switchboard, and he's coming back out 8 AM tomorrow. I guess he's just doing what he thinks will solve the problem, but it is annoying. He told me to switch the whole thing off --- at the main power switch --- and restart it. It has worked to an extent, but my water is still only barely warm. I need it to be fixed for tomorrow, as that's the day she gets her hair washed. Kettles of water will work for just a bodywash, but not for getting your hair done.

It's something called a Glow-worm, don't think that will make any sense to you? We've had it for over a decade now, so it's not that surprising it's developing some sort of fault. Still, you expect these things to last longer...

Meh, I would have been equally impatient if someone told me I was going to be able to get a sweet deal on gasoline or food and then I get pushed back by my employer's strange policy and then you call to check with the guy to see if things are okay and there's no answer. Everyone hates getting black-balled.

It turned out I was able to meet up with him at 9. The reason I had to bitch was because I had been wanting it for a few days and was ready to have it around noon and go about with my day, but instead I had to find something to do to kill time for a long while, then kind of end the day. In essence, I felt like my day was a bit wasted just because what I expected didn't work out.

But yeah, I've hardly gone without smoking pot at least a few times a day in years. Is it something I fiend for like a meth-head or heroin junkie? Doubtful. From something I know personally, when I get off of work, what do I crave more: a cigarette, or a bowl? Cigarette. Preferably both, but always go for the addictive cigarette. It's similar, but not quite as bad as you make it seem. Some people have less control than others, etc.

Haha of course I know Glow-Worm its actually one of the best around for its price range, I don't think the older ones were that great but now they are one of the best boilers around, I have a Glow-Worm and I think its great and easy to use. It was recommended by several people and also the plumber.

Wow! That's good to know! Yeah, he said it should last a few more years, is in generally good shape. I'm sure once he takes a sledgehammer to it tomorrow everything will be ... what do you mean, he shouldn't do that? Don't you trust these professionals? Next you'll be telling me I SHOULDN'T wash the cat in my washing machine! Shee! How stupid do you think I am? If a man in a white suit tells you it's okay, then it's ok, and if he has a HI-VIS on, well...!

I don't know what happened recently but apparently 500,000,000 people moved in to the complex last week because I haven't had a place to park since then. It's crazy, because there are plenty spots by the clubhouse and pools, but apparently they all moved in to my area, which is quite a trek from there, and it has turned out to be the only spots I've been able to get.

I know, first world problems and all, but there is enough for 2 cars per apartment here. This should not be happening. I wish there was assigned parking.

I don't really know wither I consider it an addiction. I don't because I can go without it and not bother much. I feel rather bored but that's about it but the one thing that majorly puts me off stopping smoking is the lack of sleep I would get for a while. **** that ****.
