If repairman comes to your house and fixes broken appliances, how do you call one that comes and breaks what worked before? And you pay him for a service?

Today a repairman came for my (i)regular furnace maintenance. Furnace worked well, so he checked it, cleaned, adjusted slightly, and just to make sure everything is OK, let it work for a few minutes after he was done. It didn't. At least, it didn't work properly anymore. It did a try-three-times-and-shut-down dance. He looked at it again, claiming that his actions couldn't cause the problem. I believed him. I had to, since I used that same excuse so many times when I tried to fix somebody's computer and 'something' went wrong. He found a problem, a faulty motherboard, and promised to get a new one by tomorrow.

And I still had to pay for his maintenance.

It looked like the only real problem will be that we'll freeze until tomorrow, so after he left I turned the furnace on, and it worked just fine. Now we are nice and warm, and tomorrow we'll get a brand new m/b for the furnace. I can live with that. :)

Photo challenge here was getting just right amount of light to see both flames and the furnace. At the end I used my flash light to add just enough of the ambiance light to the picture. Nice and precise.
