Jobs I Really Don’t Want to Hear About

After the long yes, no, yes, no conversation with the company headquarters it is now time to retrieve equipment from the truck. I am not a cable installation specialist or anything but I would think that if you have done this job for say more than a week you should probably have a decent idea of the type of equipment you need. So why would it take you thirty minutes to go to your truck and come back with half the equipment that is required to complete the job? Yes I did say half, because apparently they have to go back to the truck half way through because they need something else.

Now that I have lost six hours of my life that I will never have back they want to strike up a conversation with me. By the way (I love this part) the billing cycle started sixteen hours ago. During the conversation they proceed to give you a play by play of everything they are doing. Maybe I should actually give a crap so maybe I can do it myself next time but I really don’t care. So now we are engaged in an uh huh conversation and by this I mean they are talking, I am not listening but they think I am because I continue to say uh huh. Not sure why people can’t pick up that you are actually not listening to them when that is all you say but oh well. He is actually working so hopefully he doesn’t catch on or maybe he did because now I am hearing about his week. Holy crap, can this get worse? I really do not care about the old lady that made you leave her home and stand on the front porch while she went to the bathroom. I seriously would not leave you alone in my house either.

Well we are all hooked up now, thanks for your time. Wait you want to show me how to turn the channel on the T.V.? Great, as if I am that stupid? I am being talked to like I am in the fourth grade by the cable installation specialist. How stupid do I really look? So after he finishes showing me all the intricate details of the remote that I will never use comes the awkward moment of saying good bye. It’s like he doesn’t want to leave. As if my uh huh conversation skills were that interesting. It has now been almost twelve hours and I still am not watching Sports Center. Don’t even get me started on the times I have needed repairs. Thanks for reading.
