This is not promising

Wednesday went by with no change in the level of gaslessness around here. The way things are set up in this state, before you go digging around utilities, you Call Okie and get all the lines marked off, which makes sense. Today the sewer line was marked; presumably the water and gas lines will be marked tomorrow. (I talked to a Call Okie rep; he said they have generally 48 hours from the initial dispatch to get everything in place, but it's possible that things might hang until Monday.)

So I still have no idea when the gas will be back on, and ONG's customer-service interface blows serious chunks is on the inscrutable side; if you call them and try to bypass the endless voice-response prompts by dialing 0, you are advised by the robot voice that your selection is invalid. Probably the best I can hope for, at this point, is that someone at corporate is in the habit of looking at Technorati tags that read "Oklahoma Natural Gas" or "ONG."
