Tuesday, It's good to have cable again
So I called the cable company yesterday and reported the fault. They tried refreshing the signal, but when that didn't work they said that they'd send out a tech to fix the problem today "sometime between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm." Being a good little girl, I waited until 2:30 pm for the nice cable man. When he never showed, I taped a note to the door giving him permission to enter the apartment and do whatever he had to do to the system, and dashed out to get the rent check cut and pay some other bills. When I came home, the note was still sitting untouched on the front door. Fine, I think -- he's just running late. Then 4:30 pm rolls around, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to spend the 4th of July cable-less (not necessarily a disaster, but it would have been nice to watch the news, at least). I'd just finished complaining about it in an email to Julia, when a dime dropped and I went out to the living room and tried the TV. The cable was back on -- go figure. And tonight I was able to watch the SatC and SFU reruns. Life may not be perfect, but it has its bright spots. And while we're on the subject of bright spots, I decided I liked the final polish on "Happily Ever After?" and sent it off to Black Gate. That makes three in circulation, and I want to get at least one and maybe two stories submitted to FutureClassics for next week's critique, so with any luck I can get another two in circulation by next week. Hey, gotta be doing something productive with my time, right?

don't think I mentioned that my cable went out sometime last Thursday,
did I? With the con and all, I didn't really worry about it until
Sunday night, when I realized, horror of horrors, that I wouldn't
be able to watch
