I have done some stupid things in my life, but usually there is some way to fix them. Not this time. This time, I am just a huge idiot, and there is no redemption. For Christmas, Simone and I got an MP3 Dock/CD Player so that we could listen to music in the house, now that we are all digital. The only problem is, it didn’t work with my iPod, even though it advertised that it would. So I returned it a week or two ago.
Then, the other day, I decided to watch a DVD. Our DVD player is one such that the unit has no actual buttons, so to navigate menus and whatnot you need the remote, which I can never find. Well, I found it this time. Or rather, I found the nearly identical-looking remote that went with the MP3 dock I had returned weeks earlier. Yes, that’s right, I packaged up the MP3 dock along with my DVD player’s remote control and returned it to Costco. Weeks ago. And I just noticed.
I suppose my only hope is to try and get a universal remote that works with my DVD player? Of course that only solves the short-term problem. I have no idea how to solve the longer-term problem of being a huge idiot.
Ah, but you are such a funny and very lovable idiot. Look at the material you give yourself to write about!
