Oh yeah. . . .

Now for the "Bumble Head" award. . .

It goes to me. . .

For mixing the QUANTITY and the PRICE on limit orders and not understanding why I wasn't getting filled. . . then changing my offer, not realizing that I was actually changing the quantity. . .

I won't even tell about my effort to make coffee yesterday. . .WAY too early in the AM. . . trying very hard not to spill a single coffee ground from the grinder. . . .I thought I would just place the can over the whole grinder and turn them both . . together. . .thus pouring all the fresh grounds into the can. . . but not first checking to see if there were still coffee grounds in the can before flipping!! OOPS!! . . . .then pouring a second decanter of water into the already full reservoir. . . . LOL!! The biggest mess ever!

I guess I am used to doing the coffee in my sleep. . .but by TRYING to do a better job. . . the task shifted from an intuitive one to a conscious analytical one. . . .same as when you try too hard at tennis or bowling, etc. . . .instead of just doing what you always do. [Read the "Inner Game of Tennis"/Golf/Whatever] for more on that subject.
