Cable woes... Part 2

So Buckeye cable was scheduled to come out to my house between 6-8 last night to solve all my cable problems. I  skipped my sisters softball game, rushed home, opened the house so it was cool and breezy, got everything ready and started to pace around the house... I can tell you the color of every car that drove by, I was just staring out the window. I didn't make any dinner cause I didn't want to be rude and eat in front of them. The clock ticked away and my patience was long gone. My plan had been to run to Kroger's after they did the cable so I could get some Ice Cream to surprise my mom and sister and I needed a couple things for Breakfast and Lunch. At 7:45 I get a call from the Buckeye guy that he is obviously running late which he was very sorry for, and was trying to get some of his co workers to help him out, I asked how long he thought and he said another 30 minutes. I said OK I am going to run to Kroger's really quick.
I shut all the doors and windows and fly like a mad woman to Kroger's which no one told me they had changed the whole store!!! So I am flying around the store trying to find the few things I need. I rush check out and fly back home, caught every green light. I get home open the house back up and put everything away and I still end up sitting and waiting...
Finally I see them put up to the house 8:35pm, just as my sister calls to tell me they are leaving the ball field. So I let them in tell them what I need done. They say no problem that they are the warm up team that the guy who is supposed to be at my house is still at his other job and he has my boxes and equipment so they are just getting everything ready for him to come and hook up. So they are there about 20 minutes and one of the guys tells me he is going to where the original guy is to pick up my equipment from him so he can finish my house. He leaves more waiting for me... I am now STARVING but mom and Caitlyn are going to bring pizza so I can wait it out.
Around 9:15 mom and the cable guy pull in and he gets to work finishing hooking everything up and mom and Caitlyn and I inhale some pizza.The poor cable guy is now flying around my house trying to get everything set up, thinking the place he has to call to set it up closes at 9:30, but finds out they close at 10 so he has some time. He gets the tv's set up the internet working and all is well, he doesn't have to show me how to use it because my parents just got the same system over the weekend and I am already an expert.
So around 9:45 I finally got cable!!!
Glad its all over!!!
Buckeye people you need to switch to the new whole house system!! Basically its TiVo its AWESOME!! It is exactly like TiVo same noises and everything, I love it.

  1. Hi, Christina! I don't like waiting around for service people, especially when they say "I'll be there between 8 and 12" - it's hard to make plans! So happy you finally have television. :) Hope everything else is going well in your new home.
