Today was day one of my four days off. It started off very well, got up had some breakfast, went out for a bit in the nice cool morning with Shawn. We bummed around most of the day. We really just enjoyed each other’s company, as usual. The day however got interesting when we remembered to call the cable company to finally see if they had gotten HDTV and Digital cable finally setup in our neighborhood. To our shock…they told us they did.

We hauled ass up to the cable office to pick up the HDTV converter. When we got there we got off to a bad start. The lady behind the counter told us that they don’t usually give boxes out this late in the day because if there is a problem, they won’t be open to help us and could we come back tomorrow. Well we said no just give us the box. They did and we talked to another very nice woman who was very helpful and we were on our way.

Of course we get home, all excited and hook up the box and nothing. It wont work thru the DVI cable, no menus come up, it only shows a few channels and the digital cable box no longer works either. I am assuming there is something wrong with our account now and we’ll have to call tomorrow and get it straightened out. What a downer!

At least we had regular cable because I did not want to miss Big Brother 6. As expected, Eric was voted out but the surprise was that Maggie (his partner who is NOT in Kaysar’s gang of six, won HOH. This could make it interesting. I can’t wait to see who gets put up!

Sigh… I love that show.
