Comedy of Errors

Laurel and Hardy are here at the house to fix our DirecTV service, which hasn't worked right since the day it was installed. Ironically, they still didn't show up in their designated window of 4:00-8:00 PM. They showed up at 3. Luckily I was able to leave work even earlier than planned, but seriously, why in the world can't they just show up when they say they will?

Under the circumstances, I don't find Laurel's April Fool's jokes about a six month wait to get a new box very funny. And a word to the general population, downloaded ring tones for text messaging aren't entirely appropriate when you're supposed to be installing equipment at someone's house. Hardy's cell phone is about to make me crazy. Put it down and set up my new DVR, please.

OK, what was the ring tone?

I don't even know. It was a song of some sort, but the audio quality was so bad I couldn't tell what it was, other than LOUD. And constant. When I mentioned it to Greg it quickly became obvious that this was the same young man who installed the dish last week, as Greg had noticed the same thing.

Cow somehow thinks there is a direct inverse relation between amount of time tech spends talking on his cell and quality of service provided.

Moo!

I think the ring tone should be "Send In The Clowns."

It was Andy's "Rockin Robin" ringtone from The Office. LOL

Or perhaps "Take This Job and Shove It," based on his attitude!

And, TC, you are exactly right.
