How AT&T U-verse Made Me A Better Husband

I'm lazy. There, I said it. Okay, maybe not completely lazy. Let's go
with "selective enthusiasm." One thing I am selectively un-
enthusiastic about is housecleaning. If you come over unexpectedly,
you might see a bit of clutter. My wife has a similar mindset (sorry
for throwing you under the bus, honey).

So, today is Friday. I'm off work on Fridays. I usually have a list of
projects lined up for Fridays. Housecleaning doesn't often make the
list. After lunch with Missy at her office, I came home intending to
work on one of my freelance web projects. However, our Internet
service was down. I called and they scheduled an appointment for a guy
to come out and look at it. When, I told Missy about it, her reaction
was, "Oh no! The house is a mess!!"

Guess what project just got moved to the top of my list? Yep. So thank
you, AT&T for providing just the right selective enthusiasm this
afternoon. My wife appreciates it very much.
