Our Eyes Met and We Remembered

I now have cable!

The doorbell rang right at one o'clock! This in itself was amazing. You know whenever you put in a service call they give you an appointment window of four hours typically. Eight o'clock to noon, or one o'clock to five. But then they never show up until the very.last.minute of your service window...or even a little late. I chose the latter window as my husband isn't a morning person.

The service guy came right at one. W-o-w.

I opened the door to welcome him into my home, and as our eyes met we both realized....

...he had been the last technician to come out to my house when I was ~trying~ to get the job done properly before. He was the one that I was very cranky toward. He was the one who probably swore at me up one side and down the other under his breath as I booted him from my house because I was sick and tired of all the excuses and lies the cable company had been giving me.

In all fairness, it wasn't this guy's fault before. But I was irritated enough to treat him like it had been. Poor guy.

But today's job entailed not anywhere near the same amount of work, so it went smoothly.

The most difficult part of it all was the fact that my little darling daughter felt that she had been born into this world with an expert's knowledge of wires and cables and she wanted to ~help~ with everything.

The guy was nice though and said he had two daughters of his own. He was warm and sweet and friendly toward my daughter. In all honesty, he was probably just concerned that I'd turn into psycho-freakazoid-lady again. Must.keep.this.lady.calm.

I haven't had cable in years!! This is exciting!
