- Blame myself because these are the kind of things that adults are supposed to keep track of. Why did I not check it weekly? How am I going to keep up with this next year when I am all alone? Really, am I this stupid? As it turns out I am that lazy and clueless, but I am pretty much OK with that one now.
- Be peeved at Chris because I had asked him about this exact situation a week ago and he also felt no need to take action. Now I am pissed because yet again we are victims of the "I am not worried about it" phenomenon. Of course I am just projecting onto this minor glitch my full irritation that Chris is rarely, if ever, worried about it and I am pretty sure that deep down inside he feels that way because he knows, either consciously or subconsciously, that 99% of the time, he won't be around to deal with the fall-out. Of course, he may act that way, but I guess here I am really blaming myself (again) for falling for the same old song and dance...again.
- Be pissed at the property manager. She stated that "there was a scheduled delivery program where the guys comes on a schedule, fills the tank and leaves an invoice" Clearly what she meant was "this thing exists" and not "this thing has been set up since those details are why you pay a premium on your rent, so I can handle these details." This one may be a fair amount of pissed, but then again, isn't this my fault too? I mean I know she is a total space-cadet so why did I think this would be any different?
I guess this is just one more piece of the completely uninteresting puzzle that is me.

In regards to No. 3, have you talked to the property manager about what they meant? The last apartment we had in CT had auto-delivery, but they NEVER came. We always ran out first. Our landlords even did the dirty work and called to yell at the company. So, you know, maybe you already have the "we take care of it for you" set up, and they're just as reliable as our heating company was.

Yes, our darling property manager is on my call list for the day. I have such a hard time with her because we do not seem to speak the same language. I mean we are both speaking English, but clearly we do not get the same take home message from the words. Worst case: she meant we should do it and now it will be done. Best case: she or the oil company dropped the ball and they can knock it off our next rent payment/bill.
