A recipe for disaster:

Tonight, we're getting a Shaw Digital Cable box free for a month, because of the consistent trouble we've had with our Digital Phone (which, technically, we also haven't had to pay for more than a month of due to previously mentioned problems).

On Friday, I have the day off, which is supposed to be used to clean the house in preparation for a surprise visit from Kirsten's brother and his partner Amanda.

I like new toys, especially new toys with remotes. I think I may have to be extra thorough when cleaning the living room in the basement.

Update: No digital love for us; apparently, the manager K talked to neglected to put it on the work order. This did not ingratiate us further to Shaw.

Further update: The digital cable actually came on Friday, while we were cleaning the house. It is everything it promised to be, and I'll be sad to give it back in a month (when the free month expires). :(
