Anyone else suffering a series of minor unfortunate events lately?
So idk about y'all, but I have been suffering minor unfortunate events lately. I tried to fix a 2DS I bought off eBay, ended up accidentally tearing the speaker off, and ripping the ribbon cable for the screen. The backup screen I had from another damaged system was torn as well. Then I bent the upper receiver on the AR that I'm building. Luckily, PSA is goated, and I got a replacement for free. But then I scratched up the lower putting in the roll pin for the bolt catch, but I'm going to be painting this gun, so again, not a huge deal.
And finally, we come to tonight. I am working on my AR, trying to put my Atrius Super Selector in, and I dropped the one piece with the spring, AND THE SPRING GOT SENT TO THE EITHER, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!! Mind you, my workshop is not that big, and it's carpeted. I was on my knees and my belly for a while looking for this damn spring. I even went across the carpet with a magnet and found nothing. I'm 90% sure it got yeeted down the heating vent in the hallway somehow. It is unfortunate that the good Lord did not answer my many prayers to help me find said spring, but ah well.
And finally, I bought an OG 3DS from Japan for like $70. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the local tech repair place wants $120 to fix it. So I pull a Thanos and decide I'll do it myself.... I can't get 3 screws out to open this bitch up. All my screwdrivers just go click, click, click like the screws are stripped.
I'm going to shower and go to bed and pray things are better for myself tomorrow. Pray for me, homies.☦️
