OT - Poor Ben!
First you have to know that Ben has never met a broken appliance or
anything else that he's been unable to fix. The man could fix a rainy day. Well, he got the new glass for my cell phone and started taking out the 300 micro-miniature screws to disassemble it. During all this he accidentally clipped a cable that completely "severed" the chance of his ever fixing it at all. He was *DEVASTATED*. He came down into my room on the verge of tears, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I broke your phone". No Ben, this was the phone that I dropped on the concrete and shattered. Besides, how many times have I told all and sundry how much i *HATED* this stupid phone. Besides, on December 21, our T-Mobile contract is up and the *free* phones are light-years ahead of my current 2-year-old piece of crap. But it was just such a new experience for him, and it wasn't something of his own, it was mine, and he still feels like he's got to fix it somehow - to make amends for something that was in no way his fault. I hugged him, I reminded him how much I hated that stupid phone and could I take the remains and stomp on them some, kissed him and tried to make him feel better. I just hope it hasn't dashed his enthusiasm for fixing things - I have a *very* expensive microwave that I'd like to use downstairs if he can fix it (I think he's waiting because it needs an $85 part that we just can't afford for the next few months (or maybe not even in the foreseeable future. But I can live without a microwave downstairs (there's one in the kitchen upstairs, but I can't climb the stairs). But I can make do with my toaster-oven. Please send a few purrs that Ben can get his self-confidence back and quit feeling so bad about something that was no his fault? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
