Just call me Superwoman

So last week I got beautiful new bedroom furniture and for the first time ever, I feel like I have an "adult" bedroom. In the process of decorating, rearranging, etc. I started to feel like I had discovered the real reason I "needed" a man(besides the obvious) - see, in rearranging the room, it became necessary to move the satellite cable from one side of the room to another. This seemed like an easy task as it came up thru the floor, so I would only need to pull it back thru and drill a new hole, right? WRONG.

Obviously, the satellite/cable companies have a plan when they install...see, they drill the hole the exact size of the cable, then attach the plug AFTER it comes thru the floor, making it impossible to pull back thru. After 2 hrs of trying to drill the hole bigger while not catching the cable with the drill, and being afraid to cut the plug off because I wasn't sure how to reattach it, I decided this: I needed a man, NOT to do the work for me (cuz I know from experience that is probably never gonna happen), but to be there when I think I HAVE to do something myself to save every penny I possibly can, and say, "don't worry about it honey, I will pay the cable guy $50 to come out and do that for us!"

So the next day I was exasperated and called Direct TV - they wanted $50 to do the job AND couldn't come for 2 weeks! Luckily, working for a radio station means I have 2 capable engineers around any corner. So I asked Larry if he could tell me how to remove the plug myself. Not only did he give me a tutorial complete with demonstration, but he gave me the tools to do it with.

That night I went home armed with my new knowledge, cut off the plug, drilled a new hole, fished the cable thru, and attached a new plug. When I plugged it in and turned the TV on and IT WORKED, I felt like this!!! Take that, men & Direct TV!!! I need neither of your services! (Well, except the obvious...LOL)
