Dammit
I’m going to rant for a second here … because it’s my blog, and I can. If you don’t like it, stop reading right here.
I’ve been waiting for my tv to be shipped from Ontario since August 2008. I hesitated for a little while because I wasn’t certain I was going to stay in BC. But once I decided I was, my Mother offered to ship it to me … to save herself having to actually pay me a visit this summer. Anyway, it finally arrived and had been waiting with my family for me to pick it up. Today, I finally got to open the box and set it up …
I was so happy to see it, I was practically in tears. Then those tears turned to disappointment. My sister’s boyfriend packed the box up last summer … and did an absolutely awful job. Broken styrafoam all over the place. Nothing put in the box the way it was supposed to be. I don’t even know if it works yet … because they forgot to pack the frigging power cable. I’m pretty angry about it, actually. Tomorrow I will have to wander over to Future Shop to see if they can somehow sell me one that works with my tv. Who knows how much that will cost … dollars I don’t have in the budget.
I just wanted to come home and commune with my tv … I guess not tonight.

This is too bad! I once had my brother-in-law volunteer to hook up my brand new washer and dryer in the new house we just bought. He ended up with a “spare part” for the washer. It wasn’t until a week later, when I went to use the washer for the first time, that we found out what that part was for. It held the hose into the drain pipe and we had a flood before we knew it.
I once lived without a tv for 10 years. It’s only “stuff”. But still, I hope you can get a cable! On the other hand, the boyfriend should ship the cable to you express post! And pay for the shipping himself!
