Im Larry, and this is the REAL Furnace Guy Larry

If you read yesterday's post about Larry, the maintenance guy...this is part 2.

Larry, the maintenance guy showed up at 7:30 a.m. this morning. WOW! Earlier than I had anticipated (you will recall he said 8:00 a.m.). I put the coffee on, grabbed my blanket.

I gave up on Larry at 3:00 p.m. I could no longer stand the cold, my patience was running thin, his stories were no longer endearing. I'm just too fucking cold to be patient! I really have shit to do, but I am so frozen I can't! Literally it is so cold, the only thing I can do is sit in the utility room, or under the covers in my bedroom. Even that is no longer acceptable.

I had to go outside and sit in the truck for awhile, run the heater and defrost. As I sat there, I decided another night in this frigid home (Omaha has single digit temps btw) was just not gonna work. I called my ex husband (he really is a peach, I mean it, nice guy) told him of my latest "issue", of which I have many and god bless him he listens to them all. Told him I need a place to stay tonite, of course he didn't have a problem with that.

It's right about this time, my cell phone rings. It's Larry's boss. His boss, Ashley, tells me that Larry could not admit to himself or me that he just can't fix the furnace (he has all but rebuilt it at this point). But, she tells me that an honest to god, real live HVAC contractor will be here this evening to repair it. I tell her I appreciate her call and look forward to warmth, and to please tell Larry not to feel badly.

Well, I guess I can tell him myself...Larry shows up with the REAL HVAC guy, named, you guessed it, Larry. (Did you ever see the Bob Newhart show?, I think the brothers were both named Darryl).

Anyway, Larry #1 talks to Larry #2 the entire time he is inspecting the furnace. Larry #1 keeps saying he did that, yep he did that too. Larry #2 is rolling his eyes. 30 minutes later...

I have heat, and a dinner invitation from Larry #1. I think I'll pass...I'm pretty sure we already had a date, it left me a little cold.
