It was noted on the service order that I requested "morning". And he has my phone numbers and is supposed to call first, but I find they call about a minute before they get here, which isn't much help.bjornolf wrote:It's not 100% though, sometimes they forget. Often when I ORDER the service, I'll ask them to make a note on the work order to do that. Sometimes, the guy himself will call me the day before when they make the schedule, and he can give me a better idea. Then I've got his cell number on my caller ID, and I can bug him if he doesn't show. That's always fun. ;)bjornolf wrote: That really sucks. I'll often call them the morning of, and ask if they can at least tell me where I was on their list. Often on the day of, they can narrow your window a little, and often you can get the guy to call you when you're next on his list. I've found that can help a lot.

1) Taking Mom to the eye doc for his assistants to adjust her glasses for fit. Four days post-fall, she realizes they don't quite sit right on her face.bjornolf wrote:Ahoy, Cap'n! So, what are you up to on this fine day?
Sounds like a full day. I hope your mom's glasses turn out okay, and that there aren't any delayed issues form the fall. If the worst thing is her glasses, she's a very lucky woman.captmojo wrote:1) Taking Mom to the eye doc for his assistants to adjust her glasses for fit.

2) Installing shading fabric between roof joists on pergola. (if not raining or too windy outside)
3) If there is enough time left in the day, I need to go and harvest the fescue at the mountain lake retreat.
Right now, 2 and 3 don't look very promising.
Let's Go Duke! 
A) UPS showed up right at 10 a.m. Connected the box but the phone line lights didn't "light up". Called Vonage, we went through all their standard suggestions, and they are sending me another box. She can't promise it will ship today, but they are sending it overnight, so it will be either tomorrow or Thursday when I get it. She has upgraded me from the standard 2 line box to the one with a built in 1 port router output. Eh. I don't need it but it does give me some flexibility if my router goes out and I still want to hardwire my computer to the router and have my phone lines work, which would be a good thing. Of course, if the router fails, I'll run out to WalMart and buy a replacement, returning home within 20 minutes.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I'm waiting forbjornolf wrote:How 'bout you, Ozzie, since you're the only other one here. Wanna help me draft back into the lead? I'll start off. How's life? What are you gonna do today?
A) An overnight UPS delivery that I must sign for (my new Vonage box)
B) The Sears applicance service man to fix my refrigerator's water dispenser switch - it is an intermittent problem so without a doubt it will work fine when he gets here. I can't believe they give me a window of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jeeze, can't they narrow it down a litter better than that? Even the cable company gives you a 3 our window.
C) Another service man, but he's waiting on delivery of over night parts too, so I won't see him until this afternoon.
D) All of the above.
As far as drafting, I prefer to sit back and watch you and DD slug it out!
Go To Hell carolina! Go To Hell! I called the service center and asked for the guy to call me on my cell phone. I waited a few minutes and then went out for lunch. He called while in the parking lot where I was going to eat and he was in the same parking lot, having just eaten at the MickeyD's (not where I was going to eat). So I turned around and he followed me home (about 1 mile away). He checked the water dispenser and it didn't work! Then it did, but at least he saw it not work! He checked the switch connections and they looked ok, so he has ordered a new switch and will be back in 2 weeks to put it in (when I'll have to go through all this waiting again...). Now I'll go back out for lunch.OZZIE4DUKE wrote: I'm waiting for

I know not of this Kenny, but did meet Grace and remember the room full of vacuum tubes required to produce an ASCII letter! Kenny must be a VERY SMART PERSON, but I was thinking about this on my drive home tonight, and CathyCA, OZ, and etc.... It is amazing how we have progressed over the last 40 years with technology (STILL trying to find the digital watch equivalent)!!!! Everything keeps getting smaller as we get smarter (nano chips come to mind) and I was trying very hard to think out of the box about my blackberry technology taking us to the moon, knowing the complexities and ingenuity required to make that happen, still a bit overwhelming to fathom, but I still marvel at where we started from and have gotten too! So, if kenny said so, then who am I to question... I just am not smart enough to put all the puzzle pieces together, YET!CathyCA wrote:Kenny wrote it. I believe it.
