For the sake of clarity, I decided to go with the public call to getConfig().

The config object's responsibility is to get and store data from the db. Therefore, it would be better to have a separate class do the work of bootstrapping the config tables. My code now looks something like:

 protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
 {
     ConfigBootstrapper.GetConfigTablesReady();
     ConfigSingleton.GetInstance.getConfig();

     Poller = new Poller();
     Poller.Start();

     Logger.Warn("service started.");
 }
