Nothing cures an illness like good old fashioned hard work

I was happy to get installs again today. the first one was in aplace I've driven past many of times, but this is my first time there. The couple that lives here was a nice Jewish couple. The man is a radiologist, he was telling me he was one of the first people to get broadband in the area and it cost him $600 to get it installed. The basement was very cluttered, I had to spend most of my time working in his storage area. I was here to install two phone lines and I had to run it through his alarm. I spent over 3 hours on this job. There was no easy way to go about it unfortunately. his basement had a lot of random instrumetns about. the was a violin with no strings, a bow for a bass and a vibraphone. He said his son plays upright bass. I also saw a book on how to care for and restore bindings and next to this were an old illustrated copy of 2,000 Leagues Under the Sea and an old copy of Poe's Poems. The man was very nice.
I barely got to the next job on time. I was greeted by an A/V guy who did all the internall wiring. He showed me where everything was and explained that I was going to need to run a new line to the house. This is a scrape off, which are common in this area. The nice thing was that I wss only here for internet and no had set up an appointment for video, so I got a commission for taking his video order. I installed it as well since I was there. This job took me about 3 hours in the end as well. This guy had fancy universals remotes that controlled everything, I wouldn't be suprised if they even flushed the toilet. He also had a wireless thing for one of his TVs. I had to skip my lunch just to not fall too far behind.
I showed up to the next job a little late. I would have been there on time, but I desperately needed to find a bathroom. When I showed up there were three girls on the oppostie corner selling lemonade. There was a nice old couple living here. This place was one of the most cluttered I have ever seen. you couldn't take a step without knocking something over. Thankfully i didn't break anything. They had all sorts of glass and porceline things on the walls. I recognized the call letters of a couple local public radio stations written on his computer monitor. This was the only job of the day that went exactly as it should have.
The last job I got to on time. I was there to hook up the internet. There was this really nice sunroom in the back that went out onto a nice wood porch. I really liked the place. The guy was just moving in, he had no furniture, he said he was moving from a 1 bedroom apartment. He told me his fiancee was moving in in a month and a half. She currently lives on Oklahoma and the only get to see each other once a month, but they are getting married next month. He seemed very happy, I have to say I'm jealous. He works as a pharmasist at a local hospital. I needed to make an outlet in the sunroom, for the cable. That's where he wanted his computer. It didn't take too long though.
