Deeeeep breaths

It's hard to get good help these days. The security alarm guy never showed up or called (after my mom waited around all day for him) - luckily we were able to pop off a sensor and stick it on a new door, likely saving hundreds of dollars. And yesterday the cable guy came (at the very end of his four-hour window, of course) and didn't have the right equipment, even though it was very clear on the order what we needed. So they had to come back today. It's gotten to the point where if someone shows up when they're supposed to and actually gets the job done, it's like a miracle. When that is actually their job. But no - they can hold you hostage because you need TV/internet/alarm system, so whenever they show up and however much they charge is okay I guess.  ARGH.

Man this blog has turned into a rant-fest, hasn't it. Sorry guys. I'm getting angrier in my old age.
