Now today I and Garrun were supposed to take a leasurely drive down to visit his parents, but the (enter your favorite explitive) repair folks cancelled the original repair appointment, and resceduled for today. So of course, they call this morning and say they will be by 'simetime between 1-5pm - therefore destroying our plans for today, and making is so he will most likely be fighting rush hour traffic to get here.
And now. . . for my wonderous day off - you see Comcast (our ...enter profanity... cable TV/internet provider) has decided to go all digital with HBO, thus making descrambler boxes mandatory for all subscribers. The Captain of our residence decided to break down and get a box for her room. (the only box in the house before this was in the living room). Well, she got it delivered, and hooked it up, and could not get any of the channels over 99 - which is where HBO moved (301).
COMCAST said the repair guy would be here between 11-1. The Captain came home for lunch to wait for the guy. Since Garrun was delayed, I said I would wait for the guy so she could go back to work. He got here at 3. Comcast wouldn't answer his call into the dispatcher for 20 minutes regarding re-initializing the box. He then looked at the wiring outside, and whisled at the condition. He is now replacing all the outside wires to the house.
now I am sitting- waiting for him to be done. |
