Isn't there a "t" missing?
Modern technology—it means that I can sit here type-type-typing away while waiting on hold for DirecTV Customer Service to get on the phone to get my access card working. I have a receiver that acts as a speakerphone…I didn’t know they could do that! The music in the background is upbeat and jazzy; the periodic messages mock me with their repetitive “Maybe-you-can-do-it-online-at-DirecTV.com.” Believe me, if I could avoid talking to phone techs who never seem to know enough, I would have. Yes, I switched everything out, no we don’t have to go through all of this again, just send someone out!
Somehow, my satellite dish, satellite receiver, and television from the bedroom all aren't working at the same time. I am now considering that we might have been struck by lightning at some point in the past year. I am thankful we've paid extra to DirecTV for a plan to cover all of this. It's nice to know that an investment is coming back in our favor. I still can’t watch Six Feet Under from my bedroom.
Crap. Just found out I've missed four episodes of Season Three of The Dead Zone. This is what happens from sticking to Comedy Central and HBO. USA doesn't advertise there.
