For some reason all of the outlets in our house only have the two flat slots for plugging things in. As the guy who helped me find a converter at Valu told me, our outlets are not "grounded" and I should probably just get them "grounded." I said sir, do I seem like the kind of person who would be worried about that? He said no, laughed, and sold me the $2 piece of plastic that allows me to plug things in upstairs in my room.What I had not accounted for was that every single outlet in this house is exactly the same, and I probably should have just bought 10 converters and had one in every room, but instead I only bought one, and was forced to be much more resourceful. I am currently working at my laptop with the kitchen table pulled close to the wall so that my charger will reach without the extender (which will not plug into a 2-slot outlet) balancing the charge box on, yes, a chapstick, balancing on top of a bottle of wine.
Okay, so now that that is settled, I have to confess that I don't really have anything interesting to share today. Basically I have done nothing even remotely exciting in the past week, so instead I am cheating. Someone posted a link to this hilarious list on one of my facebook friend's walls, and whenever I need to laugh I read it.
Unfortunately I discovered this morning that "he who shall not be named" is no longer my friend on facebook, thus I had to do some serious hunting to find it. I thought it was "Musings of a twenty-five year old" and although the results of that search were pretty funny, The closest I could find was a blog post called "Adult Truths" and I would love to share it with all of you:
- I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer browsing history if you die.
- Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
- I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
- There is great need for a sarcasm font.
- How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
- Was learning cursive really necessary?
- Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
- Bad decisions make good stories.
- You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
- Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
- I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
- I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
- I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
- I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
- Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
- Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
- The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
