It's a good day when...

I'm finding it's a good day when I get one and only one thing accomplished. Today it's getting my cable rate reduced.  Since trying to order DirecTV and bundling it through Verizon has already cost me three fruitless hours-long ichat and phone sessions – and proves my thesis that no one is competent or ethical – I'm resigned to sticking with the cable company, only I'll have to remember to run over to the store and pick up a second converter while they're still being offered for free.

I know you too have seen that if there's no place to go and no time to get there, it's a miracle if anything gets accomplished at all. That's the power of deadlines. This is how the unemployed become hobos if they don't have a work ethic. Even Louie CK taught his fictional sitcom daughters in a fictional sitcom situation that if you want something, it's important to work hard to achieve it. Me, I can't be bothered.

Now, do I sift through this pile of catalogs, bills and newspapers or do i go upstairs and pedal the stationary bike while watching tv and reading a pulp novel?  One of these days I should probably send out a few resumes.
