Now I am watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition, which makes me cry anyway. This time, they are creating a home for a soldier's family. The soldier is in Iraq and they flew him home for the episode. I am crying like a damn baby! I don't even know that family and I'm dreading the day that they have to say goodbye to him again.
Why am I watching this, you wonder? Because my satellite doesn't work. Very frustrating.
A few days ago, the program I was watching was interrupted with an error message that says something like "downloading program information". I didn't pay any attention to it because I was going to bed, anyway. Friday night, it was still doing it so I called Dish Network. Our neighborhood has a contract with Dish Network. It's not the normal type of Residential stuff, this is Commercial stuff for some reason.
I called Friday night and explained that I was getting an error. She didn't do anything! She had me push some buttons on my remote to make sure I was getting a signal. Saying that she couldn't help me, we hung up. I called back a few minutes later, hoping to get someone else. No such luck. She checked with her boss and he authorized some other plan of action. It didn't work, so she set up an appointment for someone to come in to my house Sunday between 12 - 5. He got here and did nothing.
Remember how I said it's a commericial thing? Apparently, this guy was strictly residential. He didn't have authority to access the remote satellite dish. I tried explaining that the contract was a commercial thing and that the satellite was in a remote location. He seems to think I'm an idiot. He was like "Why did you call the commercial line?" He even felt the need to ask me if I was sure there was no dish on my roof. When I explained that I didn't know where it was, he questioned me again, saying that what I was saying made no sense.
Very helpful.
We aren't so far out in the middle of nowhere that we are secluded from modern technology. Stupid politics have made it so I can't get digital cable.
Sometimes, I hate Utah. Things are so backwards here.
