Who's the man? I'M the man, baby!

Yesterday I was home with a migraine.  (Awww, poor you!)  Thanks.


Around 6:30pm, the house alarm starts to beep, so I take a look, and the "trouble" light is on.

Oh, no!  I'm in trouble!

Not to mention, this damned beeping is not helping my head at all.  So, I call the alarm service and, after a bit of pushing, get them to have a service person call me back.  Amazingly enough, after about 45 minutes, a service person calls me back.  We go through a few diagnostics over the phone, and he determines that it is very likely the battery.  He can either come in some time this week and replace it, or I can get a replacement at Radio Shack.  I thank him and hang up.

Meanwhile, the beeping.  The ever loving beeping!

I Google for Radio Shack, call them and ask (1) what time they close, and (2) if they have this battery in stock.  They do, and I have 15 minutes to get there.  Luckily, I have a Miata (zoom ZOOM zoom).

I have fixed the home alarm system.  No more beeping.  Behold my handiness!
