spoiled
Yesterday when I left work, my XM unit had trouble maintaining a signal. I’ve had issues with the antenna before, since I’ve got a Roady and the wire runs out through the passenger door. So I fussed with it, and fussed with it, and then after pub quiz I messed with it some more, and couldn’t maintain a consistent signal. I was a little concerned that it was the actual receiver and not the antenna that was the problem.
So I walked into the house and remarked to Tom, “I’m having some kind of problem with my XM…”
And he said, “You’re dropping signal left and right, aren’t you?”
“Are you having the same issue?”
“XM lost a satellite today.”
“Oh good, it’s not my equipment.”
In a software upgrade gone awry, one of XM’s satellites stopped transmitting yesterday, so now the signal is screwy everywhere. Very frustrating for my commute. I am spoiled by having non-shitty music and good standup comedy while sitting in traffic.
Clearly, this is the curse of Opie & Anthony.
