mitchy: (What Fools!)

So my digibox was being a smidge temperamental this evening, it kept switching itself off. Then on. Then off. Until I was ready to take an axe to the thing. In my annoyance, I maaaay have been a teensy bit rough in my handling of the box *coughs* because I managed to disconnect the dish signal cable. D'oh! So by the time I'd figured out the on/off woes were being caused by a dodgy power cable (must buy a new one), I no longer had a satellite signal.

Cue swearing and banging of head on desk.

However, there's a happy ending. After much muttering and cursing, I figured out I had to restrip the cable wire to refit the metal screw widget that screws the cable into the box and makes a firm connection. Took me 45 mins of faffing about but I did it! I got my signal back!

Now I MUST learn to keep my temper with inanimate objects in future!

Had a pretty productive day, today. I was late into work because I was finally able to go and get a new tax disc for my car. Blasted postal strike was perfectly timed to futz up delivery of my new insurance certificate. Of course, like a total dork (I R SO smrt) I forgot to renew online in time for the disc to come through the post so had to resort to the old fashioned way. Anyway, the certificate came yesterday and I had no problems getting the disc this morning. Actually, I was impressed with me, I knew where all my paperwork for my car was! First time! That's gotta be a record :)
