I was already to smugly write a post this morning about how prayers work and how nice it was of my buddy Vixen to offer them up.
I called and had the Dir#ct TV people coming out today. Not only were they coming today (A mere 2 days after I called them) the nice lady on the phone worked her magic so we were not going to have to pay (she saved us $75.00!) to have the dish moved.
The repair man was even nice enough to call and tell me he was on his way (well within his 4 hour time slot).
Hubs called about 20 mins later and I could tell the second I answered the phone something was wrong. It seems my sweet laid backhotheaded jackass of a husband pissed the guy off and he left. Left as in G.O.N.E. Left as in didn’t fix a damn thing. Left as in we still have no t.v. Fortunately we are not football fans (have I mentioned that little football that is happening tomorrow is close enough to work that I can see the stadium from the sidewalk out front?). Hubs who was already in a mood it seems, spent 30 mins on the phone trying to figure it all out. I would guess that had I been the repair guy I too would have left if Hubs was as half as mad as was when he was on the phone with me. I pleaded with him to.be.nice. to the people on the phone as it wasn’t anything they did. The part that really pissed me off (aside from Hubs being an ass) is the repair guy put it into the system he fixed the problem and everything was working fine. Err, not so much.
At first I was so happy that I didn’t have to be the one to deal with this big mess. I am not even there and have a headache over it. Like I said we aren’t football people, but anyone wanna bet on how long it takes to get the problem fixed or how much longer we even have Dir#ct TV?

OH snap. That sucks. See I prayed to the Dir#ctTv gods, not the god of stupid husbands. Had I known, I would have thrown that one up also. Ours got fixed 29 minutes before LOST started and the guy could only get 2 of our 4 TVs working. But I thought I was happy. Then he left. And all of the first our of LOST was those little pixely squares. I honestly started crying, because by then it was too late to go to Nannygoat’s house. But some other ‘being’ must have looked down with pity on my silent tears, because the second hour (the real show not the re-hash) played without a hitch. Our woes still continue though as after LOST Cousin It decided he needed to flip the main breaker for all the property and blew up the brand new HD/DVR box MacD got for Xmas and Bear’s box too. The next day another guy came and supposedly fixed it. But as of right now Bear’s box just keeps saying it can’t read the card…..argh.
