I guess I went back to the draft as I happened to be mulling over
something I like to call the "Dilemma of Craigley"; however, I
realized that it is not a dilemma, it is what it is! I most likely ponder over
this non dilemma quite a bit since the following draft was from sometime before
the summer holidays!
Recently, we had many issues
with our provider who was responsible for the following services: Cellular,
Internet, Telephone and TV. This has been our only provider in my married life
up to this point in time.
In the last one year and a
bit, the TV service and the Telephone service were lost a few times. But those
were services I used and I somehow managed; the point to note here is that
those weren't services Craigley used. So, it did not bother Craigley one bit
until the Internet started acting up!
To cut a long story short,
Craigley's patience ran out and he made the executive decision to change
providers. One day, I arrived home to find the door ajar and 3 strangers in our
home amidst furniture and stuff that had been definitely moved around. I knew
right at that moment in time that life would not be the same again even if
Craigley showed up a few minutes later to proclaim to the 3 men that his wife
and the boss of the home was finally
there to tell them all what to do!
Really?!
I should have started crying
right there and then... mourned the loss of all the messages I had saved on the
phone till then. The oldest was from Smoggie from about 9 or 10 years ago, and
there were a few others that made me smile each time I heard them. They were all gone. And I should have
lamented losing all the shows that I had PVR'd to watch leisurely over the summer
holidays.
So, am I the only one who is miserable these days at our home?!
Not really. If I could be
trusted to be non-biased after the above outburst, I would say that no one has
been happy since the change. It is like the proverb - we have traded the known
devil for the unknown!
There ends that tale.
And in recent news, we added another computer to our existing computers
because it is mighty necessary. And when the printer acts up, we must fix it
because really Momley is the only one who uses it.
And who is the boss?! Apparently, it is Momley!!
Cheers.
