A week or two ago I put in place a small regular cache near home. It was not hidden in "the regular place" but instead I took advantage of a geographical feature to make my hide less obvious and gave what (I thought) was a good clue. Then I waited.
A few days later I received two on line log entries that were, frankly, written by a couple that were--to my mind--complete babies and whiners. They had not been able to find the cache, and made no bones about not finding the cache where they thought it should be!! They went on and on and were rude and curt.
I sent them an equally short tempered email with exact directions to the hide but have not seen anything to indicate they have returned to the site. Interestingly, a day or two after their complaints I received two more log notices indicating others had little trouble finding the hidden treasures.
Gang, I have been working on one cache site for over three hours on successive visits and have not yet found the cache. Am I whining and bummed out? Not in the least. All I have done is to eliminate the spots where my preconceived notions told me to look.
Now I've got to concentrate on looking where the cache is really located and stop looking where it isn't.
Get over your preconceived notions.
yep, that's my dad for ya'--no bones about it and right to the point. Still love him xoxo
ReplyDeleteJust part of the inability of many folks to take responsibility for their own actions. If they fail, it must be somebody else's fault. All part of the "me" syndrome.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Superglide. Always, always, always someone else's fault.
