heating oil and free webpages
Oct. 1st, 2004 04:34 pmThis is a fun day.
I slept really late, which wasn't too bad. Even though I dreamt about messing the job interview up bigtime. Being there late, wrong clothing, stupid answers to questions. Everything that can possibly go wrong, did. Let's hope I'll limit this to dreams and real life will be ok.
I am looking for free webspace for the dog training club my Mom is a member of. The host where I have the page up has too little webspace, and we'd like to put up pictures.
Just googleing something sucks, because you don't know how good they are or even how true it is what they say on their pages.
I should also go and get some new pictures, and change some of the texts.
While I was trying to find that there was a ring from the door. And this is where the real fun starts.
It was a guy with a truck with 18,000 litres of heating oil for us.
The problem is not to put that oil in the tanks. The problem is in which tanks to put it.
For the three buildings, we have two heating systems. Each has two sets of tanks. If you put oil in a tank that is currently used, there is a danger of the whole thing blowing up.
And we don't want that, do we?
So the first thing was to figure out which tanks were to be filled and which were in use. In one system, that was no problem. In the other, I had to switch over from one set of tanks to the other.
I am able to figure these things out, but I would prefer some kind of warning beforehand.
My Mom ordered the oil. But as the price per litre gets cheaper the more the company brings, they usually wait until they have several orders in one area, and then deliver all on the same day.
I would have prefered a call.
I just hope I figured it out correctly.
And now my brother is here to bother me.
