tiamatladySo I went into the cable office, asked for a DVR box, and got handed a DVR box. She didn't ask for ID or anything. I wasn't asked for the old box back (and won't be, since they can just keep charging me for it if I don't return it) I asked for a manual for the box, and she got one. I feel bad because she was clearly sick, and not having a good day, I knew what I wanted and got it right away, but I remember working on this kind of holiday and I felt bad.
Not so bad I didn't get my DVR box *evil grin*
So for right now it's not doing too much good. I can't seem to setup to record anything I want yet, since the major shows I want aren't on til next week.
I had to pull out all the boxes in my living room to get at the cable box and the plugs. This also unburied the DVD acks, and I've taken the opportunity to pull out a large amount of DVDs I'm going to sell. I might rip some of them before I sell them, but I'd rather have the cash and these could indeed be gotten for a few bucks if I DO need them at some point. Or rented. Or borrowed. I wonder if some of the ones I kept should follow. I keep looking around at the stuff I "need" and try and remember the last time I used it or read that book, or gave whatever a second glance. That's humbling.
CDs are going to follow. Those can quite easily replaced, the ones I can't won't be leaving (like the Beborn Beton I bought in London. Yeah, that I'm keeping.) I think books will be after that.
I never made it to my storage unit today. I'm a hair more interested in working on the house, doing some research, and cleaning. I"ll try again tomorrow.
I put some of the flavored coffee I bought on, and the house smells awesome. I think I might bake the chicken I have marinating, and make some rice.
