Reid About It

After a week of moving, I'm finally back up and running again. Quite frankly, I'm lucky to be alive, much less back on the internet.

Moving into the new house, I had to get my utilities transferred over. Getting my water moved took an extra few hours because I didn't find out until I was at the Water Department counter that my city does not accept debit cards for payment. They apparently only accept cash, checks, and beaver pelts. Good to know for future reference.

I also had to have cable strung up at the new place, so I called my cable company which for purposes of discussion, we'll call SuddenlyUnlinked. Well, SU doesn't actually do their own installations. They hire out, it seems, for the kind of people who make Larry The Cable Guy seem like a Rhodes Scholar.

These two guys come out and go to work, even though it's pouring rain outside. I made sure there was a doormat outside, so the inside guy could wipe his boots off and not track in the mud.

So I look up, and here comes the guy walking through shirtless.

Yep, his shirt was wet, so he just took it off, like that's an option that society accepts. He just left his shirt off for the entire time he was working. Girlfriend Kimberly was quick to point out that this was not "Good" shirtless. He had the kind of body that made you want to go throw out all the bread in your house.

I was worried I had stumbled into a 70's porno movie. I kept waiting for the pizza delivery girl to show up, and my next door neighbor (The "Head" Nurse) to come by.
