There’s only so much you can do, right? I’m just back from half an hour on the DEH website, that’s the electricity company, where I’ve been unable to enter my home meter reading. It’s all very odd. Usually, they send me a message to say, ‘You can read your meter and enter the number’, and you have a few days where you can do this every couple of months, except I can’t. Each time I try, it tells me ‘An error occurred.’ Well, you don’t say! Yes, it does say, and it’s said it now for the third day in a row, so I went to their ‘send us a message’ department because I couldn’t find anything about a site error online. I crafted a succinctly worded message in two languages, filled out the form, hit send, and then got the message: Unable to perform the request, or similar. Rather than show you a photo of this fascinatingly dull webpage, here’s a picture of the ANEK ferry that came in on Monday.
I looked at the DEH Facebook page, but it’s all adverts, so no news, but I did find an email address, so I have sent a message. I’m only wondering about the site because DEH phoned me on Monday to tell me about their ‘Green Pass’, and said they would send me an email with instructions to follow. However, what arrived was the email telling me I could enter my meter reading. I have seen the info on the Green Pass online, which I don’t fully understand. It’s €0.95 per month, in return for “The add-on service that guarantees that an equivalent amount of the electricity you consume is generated and reserved from renewable energy sources” I don’t want to start fiddling with my account if the site’s not working properly, so I’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Meantime, I’ll get an estimated bill based on their records, I guess. Ah well.
That is about the highlight of my day so far. That and receiving the first mock-ups for the new book cover, which are very much a first draft, so need work. I won’t show you those as they’re not ready, but I’ll show you a photo of the Blue Star 2 that came in on Tuesday. I know! All these big ferries, and day boats, and shuttle boats and… where will it all end?
