Just this weekend I was commiserating with my dad on the phone about the various renovation projects we're both chipping away at, and how now that it's summer working in coveralls is quite uncomfortable. Worse still if your
particular coveralls are made with a cotton that breaths about as well as a old yellow raincoat. Anyways, one other design flaw came up that we both thought was the biggest oversight of all. No flap on the chest pocket thingy! Any time you bend over to pick something up you also end up picking up the former contents of said pocket. Very frustrating, and yet somehow putting things in those pockets can't be helped!
Fast forward to today. I'm painting my utility closet, I bend over to move the paint tray and *plop*, in goes my mp3 player. I pull it out by the cord, like a wet rat. Ugh. I grab a roll of toilet paper and begin trying to wipe off the paint, and it seems to be going well, but then I notice the mini-usb port is just completely filled. Paint is all over the connectors, and the opening is so small I can barely get at it to clean. So I dunno, I did my best. It continued to play music the entire time (which is promising), but the real problem is that mini-usb port. It's how you charge it and transfer new music. If that's buggered, it's all buggered. I'll see what happens tomorrow, when it's dried out. Maybe I can chip out the rest with a pin or something.
Anyways, that's my gaff of the day. Fortunately it's not a particularly expensive player. I sure wish I'd sown on a make-shift flap like I was thinking about though.
