I'm Melting, Melting...

The temps are up. The snow is melting. Fast. What a difference a couple of days make.

We got the girls cold weather gear on our Boxing Day shopping trip. Now it's heading to the 40's and raining. Oh well.

It was a good day. We blew our own ornaments at the Glass Works. Went to a party and had dinner at Everybody's Brewing. And now, we're trying to watch a pay per view movie.

Easier said than done. We've never had trouble with this system in the past. You find the movie you want. Because we don't have a land line, we can't just order over the TV we have to go to the internet. Well, I clicked on the showtime I wanted, which was 10 min away, and it said fine, You can watch the show at 10 pm, an hour and a half from now. No matter what I clicked on, it came up saying I had to watch at 10 pm. So we called customer service.

This show was better than the tv, according to the girls. The tech directed Lloyd to double click on a button and it went to a system summary. After many go arounds with a clueless tech, who was not listening at all to the problem, Lloyd asked for a supervisor. Now he's going around with the supervisor. We should have been able to get the 8:30 show on channel 507. Now it's 9:04, and we still don't have the 9:00 show set up.This isn't rocket science. I think DirectTV might be getting a new customer.

It doesn't help that Dishnet is in a pissing contest with the local ABC market and we haven't had ABC for a week.

Oh, I think it's straightend out. Gotta run!
