Just Another Day

Over the past few weeks, my secret prayer has been to have a day that I can refer to it has just another day. A day where nothing out of the ordinary happens. That I can expect not to be surprised by anything that comes my way. Several weeks I have wanted this, and yesterday, I came to the realization that I am experiencing it. Massive poopies are now expected to come my way EVERY day. Back to back spontaneous meetings are now the norm. Nothing surprises me anymore. Today I expect to be just another day.

However! If nothing happens. If something new doesn’t break. If I can actually accomplish something without being interrupted for something even more critical, I may just fall over from a heart attack. Sadly, said heart attack wouldn’t happen until after work, so no workman’s comp. But still! What a shock THAT would be. A calm and peaceful day! I want it SO bad! But it won’t happen. Just like my boss will never get me an U2 iPod. I am not going to stop bugging him for one, just like I am not going to stop wishing for a nice peaceful day. You need to have goals, and you need to have faith!

So I am looking at getting a television package for the family. Mainly it is so that I can watch the new Battle Star Galactica. Cable is WAY to expensive, and has HORRIBLE options. So it is a battle between Dish, and DirecTV. After looking at everything from cost, to channels, to equipment, monthly fees, setup costs. I think Dish slightly has the edge. And through my uncle I can get a deal on the setup, I think Dish is going to win. Now to get things cleaned up to where I can have someone come in and actually install it without breaking kids toys, my trains, or who knows what!

The installers had better not try to steal my arcade cabinet! Who knows WHAT kind of damage they would do to my house getting that out of the basement!
