Annals of computer error

So, the good news is that we found a house at the last minute, inked a lease yesterday, and are scheduled to move in on Friday.  The news so bad it is actually amusing is that Washington Gas denies that our house exists, and Comcast just informed me that they cannot schedule appointments in the new year because their dispatch hasn't yet released the schedule--at 3:30 in the afternoon on New Years Eve. 

Strange days when you develop warm, fuzzy feelings for Pepco, the only utility willing to actually take our money.
