Morning surprise

The doorbell was ringing shortly after 8. I thought it may be the Mormons who have been doing the rounds lately so I looked outside through a window only to see 2 Mexicans and a truck. The doorbell rings again. So I go and answer the door. They are here to redo the roof.

What?!

No one had called me ahead of time to tell me that someone is going to redo the roof. The landlord made a comment about having the roof redone someday but he never gave me any dates. Not just that, we have a satellite dish. Are these two gentlemen satellite installers? Do they know how to take it down without damaging it? And what is just as important - are they going to hook it up again and realign it? I’m guessing that the answer is no. I’m sure I have to call a professional installer to come do that. So not only will I have no TV for several days, but it’s going to cost money. And who is responsible for those charges? Me for choosing to have a dish or the landlord for wanting to redo the roof while we are still living in here?

So I sent them away. Now I’m sure I’ll get a visit from the landlord in the next few days. That is going to be one fun conversation.
