Best intentions

Earlier this week as I was headed out to an afternoon class, I looked across the parking lot to see the kids next door packing up and moving out.

Damn. This is going to effect my internet stealing.

So I suck it up and call the local cable company, only to find that they can't come out till later in the week. Of course not. So Thursday I rush home from clinicals to meet the cable guy.


Now this poor guy when I open the door is immediatly greeted by the cat toy carrying dog doing her little fear me/ love me growl as she prances around in circles. Then, as he steps into the apartment, his right eye is almost taken out by the foil ball antenna on the TV. He looks over at me as he scratches his eye.

'Um, you don't have cable?'

'No, just the wireless hookup please. The whole package is really expensive, and anyways, I should be studying.'

So we walk back into the office area (aka the side of my bedroom) where the other cable line is for him to start instillation. Poor guy is still rubbing his eye, and I am still apologizing for it. He's in and out of the house for about twenty minutes, sets up the wireless and then walks into the living room and moves the TV. Starts cutting lines and attaching them to the wall.

"I went ahead and hooked up both lines for you. Looks like you study enough."

'Does this mean I don't need the bunny ears anymore?'

"I think it's best if those come down."

Could have been a humanitarian act for eyes everywhere, Could have been the fact that I was still in my white scrubs that you only see students in hospitals wear....or in porns. But all I know is I have over 60 channels now for free. There is a Golf channel, 2 Spanish channels, and a channel that's sole purpose is to tell me what's on the other channels.

Now I know his intentions were good, but this is really going to make it hard to focus on anatomy....Unless there is a medical channel..
