Introducing
The Angel Award
This is my humble attempt to recognize those people and organizations that go out of their way to help people. Its not meant so much for those organizations that are philanthropic in nature. It is meant for those people and organizations who extend themselves to help people.
The winners of the First Angel Award is:
Wortman Central Air Conditioning Company right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
They get it because they came to my Mother-in-Law Nana who was without heat in her house despite purchasing a Home Warrranty from a company. The company sent out a tech who reported that the problem was “bad insulation” on the heat exchanger and to fix it would cost $350, in addition to $75 for the service call. That explanation didn’t make any sense so I called the home warranty company where despite my best Yogi charm all I got was the run around.
I advised Nana to p&a the home warranty supplied tech (that’s plug and abandon to those dear readers who are not oilfield trash) and call Wortman. The guy from Wortman showed up and replaced a fuse and a couple filters for about $83 and reported that there was no “bad insulation” on the heat exchanger.
So last night Nana was warm and cozy thanks to Wortman. Thanks guys and gals of Wortman!
As far as the home warranty company? I sent them an message last night relating my side of the story and asked them what kind of award they think they deserve. We’ll see what they say.
Meantime I have another award. I got the idea from my friend Baloney. She is such a sweet young woman until you make her mad. You don’t want to do that. She has her poop hat award. I’m not going to copy that but she gave me some fiery hot chewing gum. I love the package. I loved it so much I’ve made an award out of it.
Its designed for those people and organizations who exploit those who are vulnerable. I can tell you that since Nana lost her husband a couple short years ago she has encountered many many Angels for whom I will always be grateful but she has also encounterd more than her share of others who tried to exploit her. That makes me angry. That makes me burn. Then when you think about all the vulnerable people in the world it is almost too much.
What do you think I should call the award? Do you have any candidates?
Really though, I am more interested in finding out about the Angels amongst us. I know a bunch myself. Let me know about those you know.
What a great ideal yogi. I will keep Wortmans in mind since we have an old system in our house that no one seems to want to work on anymore.
LMBO at that Burn in Hell award. I keep thinking of Twisted Sister singing that song. Great head banging song. =P
Kathy w/2 hearts – I didn’t know that you were a headbanger! I’m not a Twisted Sister fan. The way things are going I think I’ll be awarding the BIH award tomorrow. Is it too drastic?
I like the idea of both these awards, Yogi. In my mind, of course, I’ve named them “The Angel” and The Devil” awards. The warranty company seem the perfect candidates for the latter! Glad Nana is warm and cozy.
I like the BIH award. It’s especially nice, though, that you want to recognize the angels. I’m shocked you didn’t pick me. For the angel, I mean…
@B – the angel award is a very good likeness of you except we scaled back the wings and made the cheeks a little less rosy.
i’m going to need to borrow that burn in hell award. i need to send it to my mother’s apartment manager.
@JenX – Please, by all means, you have my permission to give the BIH award to your Mother’s apartment manager.
