PISSED OFF.

[foxmonkey]

Anyone want a husband? You can have mine. He ordered digital cable, had it hooked up yesterday, and idiot that I am, didn't insist that he check the VCR connections until...oh, 6:15pm this evening. He screwed around with our FIVE - yes, FRIGGIN' FIVE - remotes, thought he had it, no! He didn't! Yes, it's taping! No...wait!

After about a half hour of this (and I'm watching the pre-show getting angrier and angrier), he concludes that he has it all figured out. Taping commences. I'm happy (don't quite believe it, but I'm hoping), so I come in to hop online til the main event.

Hubs just came in to tell me that, oops, it hasn't been taping after all. I'm so pissed right now I can't even see straight. I'm not even going to go into our long, brain-twisting history with friggin' VCRs in this household. I'm tired of this stupid shit, and SWEAR TO GOD, about ** <--- this close to divorcing his stupid ass.

Am I upset? If looks could kill he'd be a smoldering pile of ash right now. And yeah, it comes on this weekend, but that's not the point. I'm tired of every single taping opportunity becoming some kind of "is it hooked up properly?" event. AAARRRGGGHH!!!!!!!

Edit: Lest anyone misunderstand, I'm not calling him stupid because of the bizarre hookup - I certainly couldn't do it at all, much less fumble through it and eventually get it right - no, I'm just tired of the drama that *always* surrounds taping.

I love him, I'm just VERY, VERY, VERY unhappy with him right now.

VERY unhappy.

Err...does it make me a "bad person" because I'm sitting here giggling at your pain? Hmmm.

[HUGs and such]

Glad I could amuse you. ;-)

I'm mostly over it; I'm surprised that little psycho outburst didn't shorten my friends list!

I'm hoping that we'll have this taken care of so that I can tape sometime this weekend. So...you want to borrow one slightly used husband for a few days? ;-)

You know, I just realized how very girly on the girl tip you are. [g] I mean, you can build a website from scratch, but you can't set you're own VCR? Hehe, how cute is that?

Um...does he do dishes, and would he know how to "take care" of termites? Fuckers! They are the bane of my existence! Argh! If not, you can keep him, dude. [snicker]
