Roger Miller, several years ago, recorded a song titled, “Where Have All The Average People Gone.” In the lyrics there is a line that says, “funny I don’t fit.” Well, that’s me. I don’t fit. As discussed before, I look at almost everything logically. I examine the pros and cons, the cost and benefits and finally I ask, “Does this make sense?” This kind of thinking is very upsetting to a lot of people. Especially family.
Several years ago we bought my in-laws a new television because they had the old tube type. When they came home after I had set up the new set, they didn’t even notice they had a new TV - while they were watching it. My brother-in-law decided, he and my financial controller should get them a new one again. A 55" set. There is nothing wrong with the one we bought them.
I expressed my opinion and was promptly overruled. Logic does not apply. Because the in-laws live in a very small apartment now, they sit close to the TV. The screen size will be a source for complaints. Not to mention that “it is not like the old one.” That’s why I am at home writing this blog while the TV is being set up.
I’m also going to send an email to the cable company and tell them to hire more people.
They are going to need them.
