The Baxi boiler from Hell

I'm having a sucky day. No, actually, that's an understatement. I'm having a "Karma's a bitch" day. This morning, for no apparent reason, the boiler died. We tried what we could to find out whether some fuse had blown out somewhere, but nope, all looked normal, but the boiler doesn't fire on as it should. No hot water. No heating.

Great, it's the fifth time something's wrong with that damn boiler since it was installed a year and a half ago! Spoke to the Heateam people, and the soonest we can get an engineer is Friday. Well, good thing it's not mid-winter anymore, unh? So we've got a little tiny heater to take the edge off the cold this evening, and I'll be washing my hair in the sink later.

Talking about calling Baxi's Heateam (yeah, I think it should be Heatteam too, with two T's but they're somewhat illiterate), the only two songs I heard while on hold were "Light my fire" - oh the irony, it hurts - and "Mack the Knife" - good reflection of how I felt.

Hopefully today's the peak of Karma kicking me in the proverbial nuts and it'll get better as of tomorrow... I need that luck badly tomorrow.
