Hence, John's absolutely sincere desire, after doing something that unintentionally wounded me, to never ever do it again - except for that to happen, it has to be the EXACT same thing or it doesn't connect.
And if I do something above & beyond the call of duty - such as dealing with FIOS whenever we have a problem with the cable (because I'm better with the computer) - it doesn't connect with the Hubster because it doesn't register with anything in his personal experience.
aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So, seems John needs to increase his range of experiences. Will leave it in his hands to get the FIOS TV problem resolved. I spent hours & hours yesterday trying - aggravation & frazzed nerves waiting waiting waiting then having FIOS mangle the situation even worse than it was, then spending 90 mins on the phone hearing endless muzak before finally hanging up at 11:15 p.m.; apparently, the rigors of all I experienced didn't sink in on him.
Small wonder ~ he's never done it himself. See, if he processed things in terms of dynamics, what I went through (to NO avail) would connect; he doesn't, it didn't. Not wrong, just his style.
And a style that tends to end up with me doing the grunt work for such wretched stuff.
Now, it will become a learning experience for both of us instead of an arduous (to put it mildly) chore for me.
If John wants the TV back in operation, HE can make it happen.
Will he rise to the occasion? Absolutely! And if he gets it done in record time, without aggravation, than I'll kick myself to not have thought of this sooner!!
