I started my morning by going to the shop. After picking up the equipment I needed I headed to plasticland. I was there to do an install. It was for all three of our products. There was a woman here with her daughter. I only saw the back of the daughter as she was out the door to school. In the front there was a giant wooden Buddah head. It took me a little off gaurd at first. What I thought was weird was that there was also a bunch of Hindu stuff around the place as well. The customer already had our basic TV, which helped. She had a wireless DSL modem and I had to explain to her that our modem is not wireless. I convinced her to go buy her own wireless router. The cable box went to the TV in the basement. The basement was scattered with various art supplies. I almost wondered if she watched kids or something. And entertained them in the basement. The job went smoothe.
My next job was at a house. I was met at the door by an older black woman. She had one of our routers. She showed me a printout of a page and told me that was all she was getting for a couple days, but everything was fine now. It looked like the router was actingly like it was never set up. But it seemed to fix itself by now, because everything was working. Her computer was painfully slow. I told her everything was fine and I left.
Next I headed to a house to the south in the land of scrape offs. I was met at the door by a middle aged white man. The place looked like it may have been a scrape off. It was nice and there was a bunch of pictures of his kids, all over the place. We talked about how nice the day was and he said he would rather be golfing right now. He got a new flat screen for the bedroom and wanted an HD box for it. He was extremely helpfull and the job was very easy.
I picked up one more job for the morning. This was in an apartment complex. The door was opened by a young man who looked like I just woke him up. There wasn't a whole lot of furniture here, he was still moving in. I saw a paddel and recognized he belonged to a frat. He talked about being at a strip club last night and now he has a hang over. I was here to install all three of our products. Once I got the TV on I turned it to ESPN and he was very happy. We talked some about sports, untill I finished the rest of the job.
I then went to lunch. After lunch I picked up a job at a house. The door was answered by a hispanic woman. I got the impression that she was a nurse. I was largely tipped b y an oxygen machine with a tube that ran to a bedroom in the back. She had no clue why I was there. I turned on the TV and nothing was on. I looked out back and it became obvious that she had been disconnected accidentally. To get to the pole I would have to go to the neighbor's yard. When I got there I opened the gate and out ran the cutest little puppy. I quickley closed the gate, because I didn't want to let the puppy out. I needed to find a way in to get up the pole. So I went to the gate on the other side of the house. The puppy didn't even realize what I was doing untill I was practically at the pole. I hooked the lady back up and left.
My last job was at a house a little to the east. The door was answered by a kid. THe mom quickley showed up. The daughter was on the couch doing her homework. Their modem was out completely. I checked the siganl and it was very low. I looked behind the desk and found a splitter in which both legs were not being used so I removed it and the modem came right back up. I checked some other things and then I went home.
