Naughty, Naughty, TiVO

What is wrong?  Why are you acting this way?  That’s it!  You get into that time-out corner right now.

[sets timer]

…

[timer goes off]

Okay, now come here.

Tell me what you did wrong and why you’re in time-out.

Yes, you decided to just disregard all of the Season Passes I had loaded.

That was not very nice of you.

Do you know how long it took me to get everything just the way we wanted it on that list!?  No!?  Well, I’ll tell you!  A LONG TIME.  Years.  Yes, years.

Yes, you decided to just stop recording shows, and you’ve decided that any shows added by the “searching by title” method are not really valid.  And, just to be sneaky, you pretended like everything was okay, but then you didn’t really put them in the To Do List.  Did you?  No, you did not.

And, just to make me a little crazier, you would recognize shows I added directly from The Guide, but then you’d double the listing in the Season Pass Manager…one of which was right and one of which was wrong.  Oh goody!  Do you know how cumbersome and aggravating that is!?  You’re just lucky I figured out how to get the shows added again.

*sigh*

Look at me.

I am so disappointed in you.
I’ve done nothing but praise you to all my friends.  All my family.  All the time.

Because of you, my life has been so much easier.  Well, until the last few days, that is.  In fact, I’ve forgotten what time and day shows are actually on, because I haven’t had to care about that for so long.  For years, you were so reliable.  I’d come downstairs and see what was waiting for me in my Now Playing List.

You made life so simple…until you made it so complicated.

I’m just not sure what I’m going to do with you.

You’re lucky that I’m just OCD-enough to re-enter all the Season Passes without going completely crazy.

Will you do it again?

You’re sorry?

Yes, I still love you.
Yes, I’ll always love you.

Now, come here and give me a kiss.

[smooch]

Now, go play.

But, I’m watching you…so don’t let it happen again.

Or, it’s straight to the time-out corner again, and this time, I’ll be taking away your favorite toy, too.
