In my entire life, there have been very few moments when I was without a television in my house. In fact, I have forgotten how life can be without one. The few times I was without a television was when it was being repaired for some problem or those few minutes when the old telly was being unplugged to make way for the new one.
My television has been broken for six days now. The repairman came, inspected, placed an order for a spare part and left. The sad part in this whole fiasco is that the spare part will arrive depending on the availability. That guy said it could take nearly five to ten business days for the spare part to arrive. He said this problem was noticed a week ago and was specific to the model I own. If that is the case and the manufacturers know of this issue, why not make the required spare parts in a larger quantity to ensure timely repairs.
It took nearly three days from the time I placed a complaint, for the repairman to come to my house to take a look at it. After waiting a couple of weeks, it could be another three or four days for that guy to come home and repair it. All in all, I may not be having a television for nearly a month!!!
THIS SUCKS!!!
I have been spending time trying to find things to do to kill time. I spent this weekend playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein (for like the millionth time I guess. But I still like to play this game!!!) and continuing my research on design patterns. I also found a few CDs that I thought I had misplaced and played them over and over again till I got bored. At this rate, I definitely am going to run out of things to do to spend time this week and the coming weekend. Suggestions anyone????
