Another good reason not to despair!

For one full day and what a day, the first one of the new year, my entire family struggled with figuring out how to apply instructions for lighting up a new gas valve on a water heater, and by the end of the day, we couldn't do it.

It's only the next day that the plumber, after spending an hour on the phone with the supplier could make it work. Reason: the instructions were dead wrong! Someone, along the way, got the instruction written, printed on a sheet of hard plastic and affixed on the appliance without even checking them.

Seems unbelievable in this day and age, but a good example of human laziness stupidity at work. So when you can't make things work, never, ever despair and for a second, believe you're dumb!
