So, Dig is working for a cable company. Which means we get cable for a reduced rate. Which is fantastic, because I can play things like Reading Rainbow, Between the Lions and other cool programs for the Bug. The only problem is, technology hates me.
Now, you might think I'm kidding. I'm not. First morning they left me here with her and the cable, I had to wake the hubby because I couldn't get the cable to go on. I tried everything. And yes, it was plugged in. Basically, every box was turned on and getting power, but there was nothing on the TV. He figured out that we had to unplug and replug the DVD player because it wouldn't come out of standby.
Second day, same story. So I had him show me the plug for the DVD player so I could pull it and not wake him a 3rd night. Then last night we figured, if we turned everything off at the power switch for the strip everything is plugged into, I could just turn the strip on and hit power All and get things up. Yeah, not so lucky. I turned on the strip, and had sound and everything. Except picture. So once again I had to wake the hubby to fix things. The problem this time? Somehow the input on the VCR got switched to back instead of front. Or something like that.
So yes, Technology hates me. I'm starting to hate it. If it didn't give me a new option for trying to educate her with cute shows that teach things, I'd strangle it completely.
