[2007-04-28 20:36:20] Was gone for the rest of yesterday and the greater part of today. [2007-04-28 20:36:32] My cousin died and I had to go down to Boston. [2007-04-28 20:36:37] that sucks [2007-04-28 20:36:46] The hotel we stayed at was a joke. [2007-04-28 20:36:52] Ready for story times? [2007-04-28 20:36:59] I won't be talking for a few minutes, I have to finish my song in Guitar Hero [2007-04-28 20:37:03] <_< [2007-04-28 20:37:06] type it out, I'll read it when I'm dont [2007-04-28 20:37:08] OK... then. [2007-04-28 20:37:08] done* [2007-04-28 20:37:22] So the TV's colors were all messed up. [2007-04-28 20:37:39] It looked like someone had taken a magnet to it. The color was terrible. [2007-04-28 20:37:52] There were greens and reds flying everywhere. [2007-04-28 20:38:28] So my mom and my sister go down to the pool, and the task assigned to me and my dad was to get a new TV. [2007-04-28 20:38:41] My dad calls up the front desk and explains the problem. [2007-04-28 20:38:50] The guy asks us if we want to change rooms. [2007-04-28 20:39:06] "No, we're pretty comfortable here; can we just get a new TV?" [2007-04-28 20:39:17] The guy says he'll send "Ed" up. [2007-04-28 20:39:35] So we wait around 20 minutes (we're on the third floor) for Ed to arrive. [2007-04-28 20:39:41] My dad calls the front desk again. [2007-04-28 20:40:07] "Oh, he's not there yet? Let me call him again." [2007-04-28 20:40:14] 5 minutes later, Ed shows up. [2007-04-28 20:40:25] Ed is a short Hispanic man who speaks little to no English. [2007-04-28 20:41:04] So we show him our problem. He says he'll come back and fix it. [2007-04-28 20:41:15] (I'm not sure he completely understood my dad) [2007-04-28 20:41:36] So 10 minutes later he shows up with a "master remote" that can change the settings of the TVs. [2007-04-28 20:41:58] He spends around 10 minutes fiddling with the color, tint, brightness, and everything else. [2007-04-28 20:42:35] My dad approaches him and says "So yeah, I don't think you can really fix it by changing the color..." [2007-04-28 20:42:50] Ed spends another 10 minutes fiddling with the settings. [2007-04-28 20:43:25] Finally he realizes what we have tried to explain to him. [2007-04-28 20:43:39] So he comes back 10 minutes later with a new TV.
