DirecTV is supposed to come to my house sometime between 8 & noon to fix my satellite connection. I have 2 things I need(ed) to do today: put the kidlet on the bus ~8:05 and take Thing 2 to work between 11:30 & 12:30 (he has to be there at noon). Obviously, DirecTV didn't show up right at 8, so putting the kidlet on the bus didn't interfere. Hopefully they'll get here around 10, so they can finish up before I have to leave to take Thing 2 to work.
