Wet, Wet, Wet

I have not heard the official measure, but it seems like we received about 10" of rain today. Of course my umbrella broke while on my way in to work. I have a healthy walk between where I park and my office, so my hair was a little frizzy by the time I got in the office.
On another note, today was the day to switch our internet and phone service from the telephone company to the cable company. With the bundled services, we should be able to save some money. I like that, but the whole process today was frustrating. First, last week the sales lady on the phone promised me that the installer would call 30 minutes prior to showing up at my house to allow me to get home from work. Wrong...he called from my house to let me know he was there. Second, after the mad dash home, I found out that the cable company is completely out of DVRs, one of the reasons I decided to do the whole switcheroo. Remember the new season of shows start next week, and I really want to record a few to watch once my kids are in bed. Third, I never considered how the locations of my phone jacks and cable outlets are such a crucial issue in the conversion process. Of course my computer and telephones were nowhere near where they needed to be to hook them up thru the cable lines. The cable installer is to come out again in the morning to wrap up everything but the DVR. That will be another service call. Oh well, I have ranted on about that enough. Good night.
