or I should buy a lottery ticket.
Last week, if you recall, I sat around on Saturday morning waiting for a cable guy who never came. Rescheduled for yesterday afternoon "between 1:00 and 4:00". Around 11:00 a.m., shortly after I came in from running a few errands, I get a call: "Is it okay if we come early? Like in about 10 minutes?" Indeed it was okay, and the guy arrived and had my issue resolved in about two minutes.
Which gave me time to take my cell phone to the closest repair center (which isn't close at all, but that's something else again), as I've been having a problem retrieving voice mails, dealing with menus, etc. This problem was fixed in less time than it took me to describe it to the guy.
On top of which, it was my turn to do weekend bond court. These are heavier calls than the daily bond courts, as those are twice a day, and anyone picked up for failure to appear (as opposed to a new charge) goes to the assigned court rather than the bond court. But weekend bond court gets everybody. And both yesterday and today, the calls were pretty light, the judge was pretty fast, there was nothing very complex, and we were done both days in under an hour.
And I'm going to a picnic this afternoon, and though it's hot, there is no rain in the forecast. ;-))
