So I moved into my new place last week, before I moved out from my mothers I placed calls to get certain services turned on, after first checking with my landlady to be sure that they didn't have a problem with a dish being attached to this place. She assured me it was not a problem.
The phone and Satellite company was to be here last Wednesday to get things set up. Thankfully the telephone fella showed up on schedule, but the Sat. dude got lost.
- I thought I'd lived in the country before! This place is so far out, you get off of the main road onto a one lane, then after another turn onto yet another one lane road. Then you drive up this huge mountain while crossing your fingers and pray that you don't meet another vehicle on the way, as there are very few places that you can pull off enough to pass each other. So it wasn't a huge suprise that he didn't arrive.-
After rescheduling for today, and my son dying without his cartoons for a week, and yeah even the weather channel ( he's been hangin with his dad a lil too much lol), the guy finally gets here after a some trials and errors. - Once again he was lost but this time I answered the phone and gave him clearer and more detailed directions.
So he came in, toured the home with me, figuring out where to put the cables.. goes outside to see where he should put the dish. He comes back inside and informs me that there is only one place that he can put it, on the backside of the chimney. Its the only area grounded, and meets the US electrical codes that his company has to follow.
No biggie, right?
Yeah as if things could ever just go smoothly.
Watching him out my window as he set up his equipment, I happened to see my landlady trotting over. They talk, lot of head shaking goes on.. then he comes in again and informs me that there is a problem. Seems as though the landlady didn't like where he had to put the dish. She trotted back across the road to her own home to ask her husband if he had any issues with it, I was left to deal with the poor Sat. dude who was all in a tither over the situation.
Finally she drags her tush back over and after more talking and head nodding between the two of them, he comes back to me and informs me that it was a no go.. meanwhile she goes back home.
So no cable, no cartoons and no Weather Channel.
My irritation is this.
I asked her over a week ago if it was a problem. She stated no.
Why not tell me then that they could only put it in one area? Why make us go through all of this? Why does she feel the supreme need to hop on over here whenever anyone comes to my home? Why didn't she come to me herself and tell me during all of this, that she was sorry but they couldn't allow it?
Yeah this was my whine for the day.
