Well, that's a first
Dec. 9th, 2008 08:26 pmA representative from TDS (our phone/internet provider) just called. She wanted to tell me about a great new deal they are offering for bundled phone, internet, and dish TV.
Her: "Now first of all, and you still a TDS customer for phone and internet."
Me: "Yes."
Her: "And then for TV you probably have cable or something right?"
Me: "I don't have a TV."
Her: (pause... this obviously does not compute) "You don't have a TV at all?"
Me: (starting to get cheerful) "I don't have a TV at all."
Her: (longer pause this time, the script is clearly failing her) "Well... thank you for being a TDS customer and have a nice night... ?"
Me: (very cheerful by now) "Have a nice night."
Okay, so I suppose I could plug cable or dish TV into the projector, but I don't want to. Even if it was free, it would take a new episode of Doctor Who to get me to plug it in. I think that's why I love best about the projector... not the big screen or the fact that it doesn't take up any space... but just the right to honestly say, "I don't have a TV." I love being such a weirdo, I really really do.
