The Bane of My Existance (8)

One would wonder what the heck I am doing up at this hour. Quite frankly, I would rather be doing other things but I chose to spend my evening and now night staring at an array of wires and coloured plugs and various home stereo/theatre componants. Now, I am a grown adult, reasonabley intelligent, who has managed to quite effectively deal with a variety of challenges. I know the person that hooked all of this up originally and he ain't no rocket scientist, but in my recent move, I failed to pay attention ( or take a picture, someone suggested after the fact) of the "hook-up". I have been putting this off for way too long, but the price of gas is making listening to my cds while driving around a rather expensive hobby! Of all the things in life that have the potential to push me a lot closer to the inevitable edge, I did not anticipate this being one. I just want to know who the heck designed all of this stuff and why can it not be made a little simpler for the technology challenged like me (or maybe I am technologically impaired)? So I keep taking these little breaks and playing on the computer trying to gather my thoughts and lower my anxiety. I cannot believe that I am intimidated by these plastic and metal objects, but I am not going to give in; although I may end up calling uh? people who do this sort thing on Monday morning. I just needed to rant and rave about what had become my very own bane of existance.

Men designed it........ they love wires, and cables..... lots of buttons, even if they don't serve a purpose.

Men again are at fault..... for driving women crazy.

Next time..... masking tape, put over the input ..... and then masking tape on the plug that goes in it ..... take a perm marker and write numbers or letters..... example....

Over the one input .... you put the masking tape above or below it.... write 1.... then on the plug that goes into it..... wrap masking tape on it, and write 1.... this way you won't need a man....

Thanks for the advice and I will use it if there is a next time and IF I get it hooked and running THIS TIME. I only stayed up until 3:30 and I am not even going to let it get to me today (For a bit). And I am sure that it is men that designed all of these objects that are now neccesities and I do think they want to drive us crazy;the trick is you don't let them; you let them think they are and then...and remember , there is a good kinda crazy too, I say as I go off on another tangent! I actually bit the bullet and phoned my MOMMY for help and lo and behold am told, while she is snorting giggles, that it is really quite easy and she did it (the stereo not the crazy thing)that's a whole other novel! So, I am going to cruise down to Tim's for some strong fuel, pop in a bit of Bon Jovi, waste a bit more of this gold dust gas, come home, hook the wires up in the most logical fashion (cause logic should work right?), plug it in, and hope it doesn't blow up. If it does, I will go down to wallyworld and buy me a boombox!

I'd like a green tea..... and you know those donuts with the white sugar on them and filled with raspberry fruit filling......

Then gain..... Green tea will do me just fine sans the donut.

Green tea would be better for me if it was full of caffeine - I, no, my body requires caffeine to run effeciently. I have found an appreciation for the honey krueller - they tend to be hollow (ish), so my theory is that one is really not eating much of anything but air and therefore one is not consuming mega calories and - damn they are good, so I get 2

good theory on the kruellers....l will have to remember that one when l go to get a tea and the darn donuts start calling my name...l will order one and think of you...
