Rocket Scientist for Hire...

I used to pride myself on being a "tech geek." I could program my VCR to record Melrose Place and Friends, with ease in the 90's. I enjoyed reprogramming microwave oven clocks, too. I don't mind saying this is what I brought to the table. Its one of the reasons my husband married me.

Yet, much to his dismay, I have lost my edge...

Rewind to when Tony asked if I could, "Please reset all the thermostats in the house". That was a week ago. I know this because it has taken me that long to figure out that we have three of them. Yes, three A/C's for me to synchronize. I would have waited longer but the temperature touched a sizzlin' three digit number this week and I am melting in the house. Personal sauna. Las Vegas Style.

I did manage to select the correct temperature and time that the A/C would cycle. I spent a mere forty five minutes on this. A real rocket scientist moment. Upon hitting the "set" button I felt like I was ready to tackle any electronic device.

Until of course, I noticed there is a "day setting" as well. So, it goes without saying...that in our bedroom it is Monday, in the hallway to the kitchen it is Monday...and of course in the kids' hallway it is now... Thursday. A time warp is my only explanation for this error. I dare to reset the whole dang thing and start over. I think its okay for the kids to be three days ahead of us, or four days behind, whichever. I mean, we don't use the thermostat as a calendar. I don't walk up to the thermostat for the time and date. So, why does this bug me so?

Its the little things that get to me. Have you got something little that gets to you? Anything bugging you? Please share, I would feel a whole lot better and don't forget to join this blog while you're here!
