YAY…it’s Friday!!!!
‘Tis a good thing…because I’ve about had enough of paperwork for one week!!
See…this is what happens when I get a few days off…the paperwork just stacks up on my desk and then I’m still doing it 2 weeks later! Yup…the aftermath of vacation days….haha. Oh well, it’s all just part of life I suppose. 
No worries…the weekend is almost here…and there is football to watch! hehe
Side note…
For those of you who read Jason’s site…but haven’t been there lately, just an FYI…he has promised a long post for this Sunday…so look for that.
(shameless plug I know…the things I DO for him…haha)
Do any of you have DirecTV?
I do…mainly because my exhusband works for them and I got the dish for free and installation (that’s the bonus for being an employee) plus most of the channels for free. BUT…(don’t ya just love that work…haha), we haven’t been able to view MOST of the channels for MONTHS now and this includes some of the Center Ice (NHL Hockey Package that I paid well over $100 for) channels…which is just not only depressing…but frustrating. Of course when I first brought this up to my ex he said he’d take care of it because employees don’t go through the same people that normal customers do for issues like this (uh huh)…but nothing came of that. So…now it’s time to take matters into my own hands…so I called them this morning and explained to them what is going on and I was informed that I’ll have to call back once I’m home and am able to perform some troubleshooting with the receiver and what-have-you. Not a problem…but it better work ‘cuz I’ve been missing hockey for months now…AND Jason hasn’t been able to watch WWE RAW since September…so he’s about run out of patience as well. (hey…he’s a southerner…wrestling is way importanté ya know!
just kidding!!)
Okay…that was my rant for today! Thanks for sticking with me (that is if you’ve read this far…haha).
My point was that I have a goal this weekend to get my dish fixed…one way or another! I’m determined to be able to watch my programs (I miss the travel channel…and VHI countdowns…and the History channel…and…oh…sorry, I said I was done didn’t I? oops).
Have a wonderful weekend y’all…and don’t forget, Jason will be posting on Sunday!

Just cable here. I don’t watch enough TV to make the extra channels worth it. I never watch ‘em anyway.

We’ve gone from cable to dish to cable to dish to cable to NOTHING and back to cable…. I don’t watch TV so I don’t care… well… except during baseball season!
Note to self: Read Jason’s blog on Sunday or else!
You’re such a good honey to that man! Hope the weekend is going good for the both of you (and the kiddies too, of course!)
Don’t you know? Stacked paperwork is an offices way of saying they love you and missed you?
Have an awesome weekend! What game did you catch?
The only thing I know about DirecTV (both my son and my daughter have it) is that it does not work during storms, and isn’t that the time when you want to stay home and watch TV?
Hope your weekend is going good.
All I can say is *hugs* and
