Is it 3 yet?

I hope y'all enjoy your day at work. Me? I rolled out of bed at around 10:00, took a nice leasurely shower and am spending a little time catching up on the LoT.

Next, Susan and I may get out to a relaxing lunch then maybe a movie

They're having a Pizza Party here. I'm having flashbacks of my last Pizza party when I was blessed with Food poisoning.

Is this year over yet? I keep getting that "Remain seated please with your seatbelt fastened" speil going around in my head....

The head manager bought us lunch today. Unfortunately, I was one of the last to know when it arrived, so I pretty much got the scraps - some cold fettucini. But, it's free, so I can't complain.

I really wish it were 2:30 - boss is letting me take off, and I have big plans to go home, throw on pajamas and actually have some quiet time to myself with a book. It's been years since I've done that!

I'm finally home alone, slept in until noon, and have no plans for the day except to catch up on various personal projects - a baby afghan that's almost done, some socks that need making, and my attempt to make a corded bodice for an early 16th century Florentine dress. And watch lots of tacky court teevee.

I'm finally home! (For a bit.) I have a TON of things to do before NYE but it's all coming together. Chris is at the liquor store buying concoctions and I just got back from work and Ikea. Funny, but no elves came by and cleaned my house while I was working!

Next project - a shopping list. I must finish that before I have to go on evening walks.

So, I'm feeling a tad bit guilty. Back when we moved into our new place, a LoT member passed the name of her husband on to us. He's a service manager at Time Warner and he was able to help us get our cable ordered and installed with zero headache.

In the 2 months we've had the service, we've discovered that, well, we don't much care for the DVR that Time Warner rents out. It's rather limited in the features it offers, and it seems to be quite buggy. Imagine our surprise when research showed that we could actually SAVE money by returning Time Warner's box and getting a TiVo instead. Hmmm, no brainer, but I needed confirmation that the configuration I was envisioning would function as I expect it to. I tried emailing customer support, but just got a "Call the support phone #" response...so I looked up our earlier contact.

Yeah, I do kinda feel bad for having him walk me through exactly how to stop using and paying for his company's equipment. But when I showed him that I would be saving ~$8/month for a better product, he couldn't really argue with my motivation. I still feel a little dirty.

And if the poster who passed the info on to us in the first place sees this, please be sure to thank him profusely for me. He was wonderfully helpful, gave me exactly the info I needed.

Bill and I went to Fry's today. I was browsing through the DVDs and found they had a copy of Gilbert & Sullivan's Ruddigore starring Vincent Price. Oh the rapture!!!!

BarTopDancer · 12-29-2006, 05:38 PM

The main reason I don't have DVR through Cox is the requirement that I must have digital cable. I have no need for digital cable [yet] and much prefer to save the $25 a month [extra] that digital cable will cost me + the DVR fees and have my TiVO.

I love TiVO.

I love that version !!

...BTW: I sang (oh, allright, and acted) the role of Dick Dauntless when I was *ahem* younger.
