Broken

The cable box is broken.

It lost the channel list and now it can't see the channels on the wire.

The DVD is still working fine, though. We've got plenty of those.

The techs can't get out until Saturday.

Well, unless I bail on work early and call them.

But bailing on work early today and taking tomorrow off is a bit much.

Because if I bail early, I might just start walking toward Minutemaid and catch the daygame against the Dodgers.

You'd think they could just get permission to enter the place like they were supposed to do when it was install time.

Nope. Doesn't work that way. Once you're on the hook, you are on their terms.

Support is never at the same aggressiveness level as sales.

Teach your kids that. Get them used to the way things are.

Dude, that should go into "Bartlett's" - make sure you get credited.
