Tivo Love?

jdotmi: (Shower Fresh)
Finally got to watch this weeks Heroes last night. So far, this season doesn't quite have the punch of last season, but this was still a pretty decent episode. Spoilery cut ) We also watched Property Virgins, which is a pretty cool show. Canadian, but most good shows these days are. Yes, it's a home buying show, get over it. So, we still have this week's episodes of Chuck, Reaper, and Pushing Daisies to watch. Not sure if that'll be tonight or tomorrow, though, since [livejournal.com profile] satyr_mi is supposed to be on a homework/study buddy binge tonight for his programming class. We shall see.

Today is free lunch day here. Also known as All Hands Meeting day. I like our new All Hands Meetings. They drive us to a hotel, give us free snacks, we get a multimedia presentation, then we come back and basically work a half day. And our department has ordered us pizza for both of them so far. It's also [livejournal.com profile] carebear_flare's first day of work at our IT Cage. He put in apps with Kelly on Monday, got called on Tuesday, and found out yesterday. I was pretty certain when he told me on Tuesday he was working at an "IT Cage" but didn't know where yet that he would be at Borders. I was right! I am highly amused. :)

jdotmi: (Bag on Head)
The Scene:
Sitting down at the computer after dinner and going to check email.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi discovers that his computer will not connect to the intartubez. He frowns and wanders into [livejournal.com profile] satyr_mi's currently empty room (as he is off at a friend's working on homework) and examines the cable modem which has a rapidly flashing synch light and nothing resembling connectivity.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi heads to the living room to check the TV, which is displaying a default branded logo and the time on several channels.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi goes bugfuck.


[livejournal.com profile] carebear_flare: I've got some channels on my TV. Check the lower channels.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi verifies some channels work okay, but look like liquid ass.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi: OMG TEH CABLE COMPANY IS DISCONNECTING US!!!11!! NOOOOOOO!!11!!! I'M CURRENT ON THE BILL!!!!

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi frantically dials the people that send the pictures through the t00bz.

Pre-recorded Message: We are currently aware of an outage in your area and a technician has been dispatched to repair. Would you like us to call you back when the outage is over?

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi: Oh. Right then. Do that.

[livejournal.com profile] jdotmi and [livejournal.com profile] carebear_flare sit down and watch Smallville.

Teh Intert000bz come back to life.

There was much rejoicing.
