The battery died in my handheld garage door opener. No problem. Sears is just ten minutes away where the helpful salesman sold me the wrong battery even though I had the handheld device with me. He must have been a holiday temp. Another trip to Sears where I swapped the battery for the right one. Back home only to discover because the battery had been dead the opener needed reprogramming to learn the right code. No problem. I drug in the stepladder and climbed up with the instruction manual. Press the green button and a green light will come on for thirty seconds, press the button on the handheld device until the green light blinks. The green light didn’t blink. It just went off meaning that I had just erased the codes for the cars. Now nothing worked. No problem I could call the Sears hotline for help. After pressing six keys on the phone after Sears answered, I finally got to a real human. It wasn’t the right human. No problem. She could connect me with the right human. He wasn’t the right one. No problem. He could connect me to the right lady. She told me to climb the ladder, press the green button until the green light came on and then press the button on the handheld device. I told her I did that all ready. No problem. Do it again. It still didn’t work. “Sorry Mr. Bothwell. That’s all I know to tell you. Have a great day.” Really? So there I sat with my handheld device in hand and nothing worked. Then my feeble mind said, “Reverse the battery.” I did and all went well after I climbed the ladder and pressed the green button. No problem.
The next time you have to call Heaven for help, I promise you will not have to go through several angels to get to the right department. The very first one will say, “No problem.”
