Damn I hate that...

When your workin on somethin, and you have all your parts in front of you, then you go to put it back together only to find out your missing ONE SCREW.

I just took apart my OFR to switch the sustain blocks, and in a matter of two minutes I managed to lose one of the three screws that hold the block on.

How friggin far could it have gone?! [img]/images/graemlins/rant.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/help.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Probably hanging out with the mis-matched socks in the Dryer Zone...

Re: Damn I hate that...

This thing is seriously gone... fucking gone. I even did the crawling on the floor with a flashlight thing that usually works. Why the fuck does a two minute project turn into a clusterfuck?

Re: Damn I hate that...

Alright... I didnt find it, but I did find something else. I have a Boss BCB6 carrying box. It has two BOSS rubber pads on the bottom of it. Well, one of them had fallen off somewhere... and somehow, it ended up stuck to the bottom of my keyboard. The box has never been near my desk and the keyboard hasnt left the desk. What. The. Fuck?

You sound like you did the usual tweaker search.
You'll find it a few days from now in some crack 20 feet from where you were working on it.

Re: Damn I hate that...

Checked your pockets? I've done that one a couple of times. Looking around everywhere, getting pissed off at everything and throwing shit, yelling at friends because they're trying to tell me to calm down and I'll find it eventually, and it's right there in my fuckin' pocket.

Re: Damn I hate that...

Yup... checked the trash can, cig can, pockets, shoes, everywhere. Even got my telescoping pen magnet into small places and spwept it everywhere. Nothing.

Re: Damn I hate that...

I was gonna say take your shoes off - quick way to find ANYTHING that'll hurt if you stepped on it barefooted is to go barefooted, because you're sure to step on it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Damn I hate that...

That sucks, I lost the backplate screw from my SL2H a while back and never ended up finding it or getting a new one. Sucks for me worse because my house is painfully old and the floor spaces have holes where the boards meet up, the lighting sucks, and there's no carpet. The fact that my room always looks like shit doesn't help either.
