February 2 Update
Added 2020-02-02 21:39:21 +0000 UTCIt's so freaking cold. My furnace went out, but when the repairman came, he needed to leave to get a part. Then it was fixed for a day, but failed over night, so he had to come back, then get another part. They don't work on the weekend, so... my poor icicle fingers. T-T The upside is that my insulation is apparently better than I thought.
Anyway, this isn't an announcement of major delays or anything, I'm just griping to stay warm. This sort of thing is a distraction, and the cold slows me down a bit, but progress continues! I've now hammered through a whole lot of the dialogue updates, plus various other pieces of new content to keep myself interested. There should be more scenes than average.
Hopefully my next update will be from a warm house with a lot of progress having been made.

Good to hear.

2020-02-04 13:03:27 +0000 UTCI should have expected this would get a response, but in my defense... I was cold. Anyway, I'm just updating for anyone checking back to say that my house is again warm. It got fixed really quickly on Monday and they said all would be well now. If they'd had the parts they needed on hand, it could all have been done in one day last week.

2020-02-04 00:14:52 +0000 UTCIn theory, but I want to keep working. =/ This is the disadvantage of moving off laptops.

2020-02-04 00:14:22 +0000 UTCGotta make sure furnace breakages happen on Mondays in the future.

2020-02-03 21:58:10 +0000 UTCIf you are truly freezing I'd think it's worth paying it. Even if it's not worth that don't you have somewhere else you could go to until they fix your furnace and it stays fixed?

2020-02-03 16:20:59 +0000 UTCThere are definitely emergency people, but since I'm not in imminent danger, I'd have to pay a lot of special fees.

2020-02-03 16:16:58 +0000 UTCIt's the downside of being in a low cost-of-living area. They do have weekend staff, but they make you pay through the nose for it.

2020-02-03 16:16:36 +0000 UTCI was under the impression there was emergency people to address those kinds of issues so you aren't without heat :o

2020-02-03 14:08:18 +0000 UTCMaybe I just live in a colder climate or work with better companies, but from my experience, it's UNHEARD of that they would say, "well, you'll have to be without heat for the weekend, because I'm off until Monday." No one would put up with that around here.
2020-02-03 08:28:34 +0000 UTCI like the tower heater, except it doesn't warm my feet at all. Still, it's easier on the circuits then the small space heater for my feet. And, no I cannot run them both at the same time.

2020-02-03 06:59:07 +0000 UTCYou could always use a small heater, though they drive up the electric bill, smell unpleasant, need so much power they sometimes blow my circuit out, and only work for one room... I'm lucky I live in California.

2020-02-03 06:55:13 +0000 UTCWhat kind of service company are you using that doesn't work on weekends, especially on something they failed to fix? They should give you a massive discount on your bill, and if they don't, they should be replaced as well.

2020-02-03 02:20:53 +0000 UTCCheap handwarmers at Walmart come through in a pinch. If your water heater is still good then a nice soak in a warm bath :) Then there is the food lovers choice of using this as an excuse to bake lots of cookies and other delectable treats XD Hopefully they are able to fix your furnace soon... Bundle up and try to keep warm

2020-02-03 00:10:29 +0000 UTCWhoops, it's too late to gain weight to save on heating this winter. I've made terrible life choices.

2020-02-03 00:00:24 +0000 UTCNever fear! I bike in the winter for exercise, so I'm pretty well set for winter gear.

2020-02-02 23:51:15 +0000 UTCI've found that being very large and disgustingly morbidly obese is a good way to save on heating bills. The main problem is that one-legged New Englander with a harpoon and a crazy look in his eye at the local YMCA. (My weight problem is not in any way correlated with my porn game addiction. That is slander!)

2020-02-02 22:50:23 +0000 UTCI strongly recommend getting gloves and a heated blanket, just in case this happens again.
