| I kind of realized it was time for Spring Cleaning when I realized I can't find stuff I just had. I got tired of all the craploading my desk has to handle, I put too much stuff and then I can't find what I'm looking for, so I decided to unload it. Now, when I went to look up the serial number on a device, I couldn't tell if the first two digits were 5, 6, 8 or 9 and which, and now I can't find my spyglass (a large magnifying glass) I have because sometims I can't read fine print, (like the stuff they put in EULAs on websites...) and for that reason, occasionally I need a magnifying glass. Maybe a couple times a week, but when you need it, you need it then.
I got so disgusted I just broke down and spent the $10 to buy two pairs of scissors (5" and 7") and another spyglass with the extra spot magnifier (a smaller circle that provides even stronger magnification.) But I realize, I have a whole rack behind me, loaded with stuff, most just sitting out on it. I'm coming to the conclusion I can't find some things. It came to a head this morning. Last night when I went to Rite-Aid to buy sodas (as I mentioned in a review over a year ago, they have their own brand of Mountain dew under the Simplicity brand for $1 a 2-liter bottle), I also bought the scissors and the spyglass, plus a small $15 sewing machine, some glue sticks and a hot glue gun. The glue sticks are here. The glue gun is not. I can't find it. I have, as far as I know, everything I bought, but the glue gun isn't here. Plus, one of my video cameras fell off a table and, knowing it makes it impossible to get to it, deliberately slid into the vortex hole underneath my bed. So, I'm sick of this. EVERYTHING OUT! All of you, all of it, out into the dining room, I'm clearing this room out. I am suspending everything including editing of the double cheeseburger video I did a couple days ago - Don Rogers sent me a message in Skype asking when it was coming out - but this is ridiculous. I can't get anything done because I'm always looking for things. I even went to Home Depot a couple days ago and spent $27 to buy 3 more tote bins so I have the full complement of 6 bins for storing stuff on my storage rack and make everything neat, orderly, and most important, findable. However, Now Don Rogers is offering an extra $5 bribe, so maybe I'll just do a fast unload for an hour or so, so that the place is clear and I can get to a change of clothes to do the opening to the video, then I'll get back to it. That seems reasonable and it will at least temporarily solve the problem. Hey, and maybe I'll find my hot glue gun in the process. And don't be silly, I mean it's a glue gun that heats glue sticks, not a stolen glue gun! What, you think I'm referring to a missing firearm? Hey, if I have any firearms - I'm not admitting it, nor am I denying it, it's legal to have them in your home in Maryland - I don't want to encourage someone to try to rob me to get them, nor do I want to give a potential invader either advance notice that I don't have any, or info on where they are. ---- "Hi! This is Jeff Whelden, and I'm not in right now. Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to say that on my machine, otherwise you might come over and try to rob me of my Krugerrands." - Some movie starring Robert Urich |
