A story of an <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/26\/no-wine-ing\/\">electrician<\/a>. An electrician for <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/25\/the-move-part-2\/\">Willie and Indy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am that electrician.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I headed to Willie and Indy\u2019s apartment. My intent was to illustrate the capabilities of both a FitBit and an <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/26\/someone-to-watch-over-me\/\">Apple Watch<\/a>. Although they ultimately chose the Apple Watch, getting them to the decision wasn\u2019t easy. There are always a dozen things that go wrong when I need to sit down with Willie and Indy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When such an occasion arises, I make an appointment. If I say \u201cOh, I\u2019ll stop by later\u201d Willie will say \u201cWe\u2019ll be home!\u201d Which is true about 0.001% of the time she says it. There\u2019s always something they\u2019re doing Willie forgets about.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If I make an appointment, the chances I\u2019ll succeed in seeing Willie and Indy become more like 4.004%. But if I make an appointment, remind Willie the day before, then remind her again the morning of, my chances of success hit an impressive 54%.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Deciding on an Apple Watch or FitBit was important for my sanity, so I made the requisite appointment and phone calls. When I arrived at Willie and Indy\u2019s apartment, Willie was baking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not just baking. <em>Baking<\/em>. Like it was Christmas. Brownies. Cookies. The kitchen looked like the display case of a bakery. I assumed Willie was finishing her task momentarily, about to sit with me and Indy. Ready to discuss the thing that could help me sleep at night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Indy and Willie first pointed out the TV. They have two flat screens \u2013 one mounted on the living room wall, one on the bedroom wall. The living room TV was broken. Willie had arranged to send it out to be fixed. But the electrician who installed it couldn\u2019t remove it from the wall unless he was doing another electrical job in the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the apartment maintenance staff are not permitted to perform such tasks. So Indy had tried to remove the TV from the wall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He managed to get all but one screw disengaged from the mounting frame. The TV hung cockeyed on the wall, like a picture tilted by ghostly hands in a horror movie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I wish they had called me before even scheduling a repair. I probably could have figured out the problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Willie and Indy are loath to ask me for help. It\u2019s great because it means by the time I know about a problem, Willie and Indy have already made it many times worse than it was originally. It makes for great problem-solving skills. I don\u2019t do escape rooms because Willie and Indy <em>are <\/em>an escape room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I asked them how they planned to get the TV off the wall. They didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I decided to be the electrician and take the TV off the wall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I had to move the entertainment unit before I could access the crooked TV. Before I could do that, I had to remove the <em>othe<\/em>r TV.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.27.02-AM-300x230.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.27.02-AM-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.27.02-AM-768x588.png 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.27.02-AM-850x650.png 850w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.27.02-AM.png 894w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The scratches on the wall are 100% my fault.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite their failure with the living room TV, Willie and Indy had managed to get the bedroom TV from the wall.

Could it be the entertainment unit?!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dust and detritus layered the floor behind the entertainment unit. They stared up at me, mocking my need for order. My <a href=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/27\/nine-lives\/\">Obsessiveness<\/a> would let me go no further until I had cleaned up the mess.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That was when I noticed the rear third of the entertainment unit was coated with dust.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes. I cleaned that too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a monster. How can I be expected to pull a TV from the wall when there are messes to clean up?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And tell me that isn\u2019t a metaphor for my relationship with Willie and Indy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looking behind the TV, I could see one screw holding the TV on the track. I tried and tried, but no matter what I did I couldn\u2019t lift that screw out of the track. Nor would it slide out. Sweat began to pool in the small of my back and under my mask.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not because I can\u2019t handle physical exertion. You try lifting a TV from a wall in an apartment with two ovens running and a thermostat set at about 105 degrees. Is the apartment an autoclave? Are they trying to kill bacteria? Grow it? Get a tan?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I struggled and struggled with that TV, Willie thanked me for my work. And told me not to stress. If I wasn\u2019t successful, the electrician said he\u2019d take it down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can go back and read what I said about the electrician. But you didn\u2019t read it wrong. She told me the electrician wasn\u2019t coming.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeday, I\u2019m going to write about this,\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Willie ordered Indy over to help me, because if there&#8217;s anything you want it&#8217;s the 82-year-old guy with Parkinson&#8217;s muddling around with loose wires and cables on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I typed \u201c91\u201d into my phone, ready to hit \u201c1\u201d then \u201cSend\u201d if Indy tripped. Then I began giving Indy orders on how to help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before the last word could even form in my brain, the TV was off the wall. I almost fell over with the full weight of it in my hands. Indy stood there, grinning at me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did you do that?\u201d I asked. More importantly, why didn\u2019t he do that before?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrade secret,\u201d Indy said, shuffling off over the wires, never once tripping or losing his balance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.30.26-AM-300x227.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.30.26-AM-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.30.26-AM-768x582.png 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.30.26-AM-850x644.png 850w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-9.30.26-AM.png 876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Success!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next I set about fixing the cable hookup, so Indy and Willie could do more than watch Anderson Cooper.
