I’m dumber than you are…
“I’m dumber than you are…” This is something my office-mate and I trade back and forth sometimes. Then I extended it to a friend. Then another. Then they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on… Well, not so much, but anyway… Now I have one to share with everyone.
This is where we share the “I can’t believe I did this/this happened and I just have to tell you and laugh about it.”
The one about the keys
This morning… About to be late for work… Can’t find my keys. Well, I DO have one of the two sets of my car keys, but I don’t have the set with the security fob for the office building and the other keys. I don’t urgently need it today but, I really should find my main set of keys anyway. I’ve got the single car key and keyless entry fob in my hand as I’m looking for the other set. I’ve been using those lately when I go for a ride since it’s easier to carry.
I look in my bag, in my coat pockets, in the nightstand drawer, on the coffee table next to the couch. Nothing. Back to the car. I look in the center console, in the back of the car in the mess of cycling stuff, under the seats. Still nothing. BACK into the house, again, then drawer, pockets, tables, bags. Nothing. WTF?!
My right hand feels heavy. I look at it. My keys are there. Cue crazy dumbfounded stare at hand holding missing keys for 7 full seconds without taking a breath. Then I blink.
I HAVE NO IDEA how they got into my hand. I’m pretty sure that hand was with me the whole morning and that it didn’t just hop off the kitchen counter and reattach itself as I walked by in a frustrated huff. AND, the original set I thought I was holding, just the key and fob combo, was in my pants pocket.
Very freaky. Very dumb.

My dumb thing was I was looking for a recipe from your grandma’s Smart Shoppers Cook Book. I had typed the book into my computer years ago. When I clicked on the file name Windows asked what program to open it in. The file extension was .sma. I only remember using Word Perfect and MS word. So I Googled a couple of file extension sites and came up with either nothing or nothing I could understand. So I stared at the column of chapter files all with .sma extensions. Then it hit me the SMA was SMArt. The first three letters in the first word in the title. Back in the early days of computing I cannibalized the 3 letter extension because there were no long file names and you couldn’t just click on a file name and have Windows open the right programs for you. You had to open windows and then click the file name. So I changed the extensions to .doc.
