Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

So it's been three months that I've been going to BYU and I have my dad's old laptop to use. But for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix the volume. One day it would be quiet, but hearable, and the next you couldn't hear it at all. Well, today I figured out what the french toast was going on. Turns out, the knob on the front of the computer isn't there for nothing. It's the VOLUME knob!!! Man, part of me is so upset it took me this long to find it, and the other part is SOOOO glad I FINALLY found it. Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

Yesterday I bought my lunch out of the vending machine and was going to cook it in the microwave because I was short on time. So I put the pizza rolls in and turned it on for 80 seconds like the package says. I press start and I wait. I was amazed at how quiet the microwave was and I thought it was weird how this one didn't have a light turn on inside while your food was cooking. But I didn't think of it anymore than that. There were other people waiting to put their food in too so I was trying to hurry. So when the timer went off I open up the microwave and feel the pizza rolls... THEY'RE STILL FROZEN! I was a little mad and thought this was the weakest microwave in the world and put them back in for yet, ANOTHER 80 seconds. I'm standing there and then when the timer got down to about 35 seconds left, I finally realized that I was using the TIMER not the COOKING TIMER!!! hahahahaha. man I felt dumb. I stood there for a minute and a half while my food just sat there in the microwave not cooking at all. I actually said to the guy waiting patiently behind me, "I'm so stupid" but he didn't hear me. Actually I don't think he even noticed at all because he never corrected me. Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

  2. HAHA!! that is HILARIOUS!! I seriously was laughing so hard that i started to cry (you know, the tearing up!)and then ryan is like, "what is so funny?" and then I would laugh harder. And he was like, "tell me!!" And I just couldn't so I handed it to him and he said, "you must be in one of those funny moods. But ya, that is pretty funny!"

    I just keep thinking about what those people behind you are thinking... in their minds: "uh, it's not even on... ok, dude, really?... come ON!!!... are you seriously doing that AGAIN?!?!... ok, ya, finally, now you actually turn the microwave on."
    Ya, that makes me laugh!!
