Ok and now I have a mishmash of Jesus Christ Superstar and the Buffy musical “Once More With Feeling” going on in my head. Those who get it will get it.
Today we had scheduled the installation of our Tivo/DirecTV receiver for the early morning slot, 8-12. So we got up before the sun and drove the 45 min to our house to be there in time for the installer to arrive at 8. You know what’s coming next…. He showed up at 11:50.
Worst of all, he didn’t seem to be planning to do any work! He kept hemming and hawing and sighing like it wasn’t his job to get a little dirty!. Then he wanted to drill a hole in my bedroom ceiling instead of putting on his jumpsuit and going into the crawlspace. By this time I was getting pretty annoyed, it’s not like it was the mailman I was asking to go down there, it’s the guy’s job to run cables and get under the house.
Then he wanted to drill a hole in my living room floor. I conceded, as long as it was close to the wall, but then he broke his drill bit, and wanted to drill farther from the wall. Finally I suggested drilling through to the closet behind the wall and drilling through the floor of the closet instead. He seemed happier to do this, thank gord.
So, by 2:30 he was finally done and we now can pause episodes of Angel or whatever we like. Angel was on when I started playing with the box. Now to actually move in and stuff.
