Hi, my name is Big Brother.

Thanks to the miracles of modern technology I'm spying on the cable installer over my webcam.

that's awesome. Anything interesting yet?

Just typical stuff

It's utterly amazing how *long* it is taking. I hope that means they are being careful to not make it look like utter shit, which I am afraid of.

It's also remarkable how much of this involves both installers standing that the foot of the ladder scratching their chins.

It occurred to me that I could phone my answering maching and tell them to hurry up, or start yelling, "Ohmigod! You idiots! I didn't want it installed there!" (but actually they are putting the jack in right beside where the TV is, so I *do* want it there).

OOOOOHHHH you just GOTTA fuck with them

Too bad it *does* look like utter shit. An hour of chin scratching didn't seem to help...

I say we ask them back to fix the mess, then wrestle them to the floor, staple their clothing to the hardwood and rub their faces with chicken grease. No one can survive 8 hours of being licked by a cat!
