I got cable installed today.
There are only 2 bad things that came out of the experience.
#1.. The cable guy hit on me. I had to take 2 showers after he left to feel clean again. The worst part about it, is that he looked like the pictures I have seen of The Jays.
It all came about when he was filling out the paperwork. He had been really nice, put the cables exactly where I wanted them, and I asked him how much I owed. He looked down at the sheet and said there was no charge. Odd.... I was told that there would be a 40 dollar installation fee due on installation. Then after about 4 seconds of awkward silence that seemed like 5 minutes, he goes "How about dinner and a movie"..
I kinda laughed it off and I could tell he knew I was rejecting him. I signed my name, he left and I showered twice. I never felt so dirty.
#2 is not so bad. I have to run cat 5 from where the modem and router are, all the way up to where my computer is now so that I can have a good connection. I am using a wireless B card but it is just way to slow and unreliable for me. I need hard wired.
Wireless just isn't quite fast enough for me yet.
