TV-less

Our TV broke - 24 days ago.

That's right. We've been without the boob-tube for 24 days. 24 days!!!

The dumb thing just died. Luckily it's still under warranty. Unluckily, the company contracted to fix it is run by morons with no customer service training whatsoever. I don't care if it's the holidays, mister. It shouldn't take this long to get the frickin' TV fixed! You ordered the wrong part because you didn't bother checking the part number? And how is that my problem? And why is it taking another week?

Okay, I'm a bit peeved.

We're not completely without TV. Lance, the IT Kingmeister, has hooked up a computer monitor and finagled it so that we can play Wii and watch movies. And just this past weekend he performed some black magic and now we can even watch TV on it.

But it's just not the same. It's small and takes a long time just to be able to watch the news or throw on some cartoons for the boys.

I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss the TV.
