How come some certain things can work in some certain ways to make certain people mad as hell? Let's begin with the recharger cable for the IPad. Every single time I have tried to plug the charger into the pad, the connector is upside-down. One hundred times out of one hundred. I look at the connector and make an educated guess as to which way it goes and every single time I'm wrong! This should be a fifty-fifty split. I suspect that the plug-in port on the IPad deliberately twists itself so the plug won't fit. I suspect that Steve Jobs set it up that way just for laughs.
And it's not just electronics! I have a seriously looking leather apron, given to me by my wonderful wife, that's meant to protect my old and frail body from chunks of wood flying off the lathe. When I put this neck to knee shield on, I need to clip a strap behind my back. The clip only works one way. I never, ever, get it right on the first try! I attempt to fool the connector by twisting the strap behind my back. Wrong! Next time, I don't twist the connector. Wrong! Every single time I put on that apron it takes two tries to get it right!
My plan is this: tomorrow I will attempt to plug my IPad charger into my leather apron. What's to lose?
Going forward, looking back.
