Things that are in my "Manuals and Warranties" folder in the filing cabinet:
-the warranty card for a TV/VCR combo I no longer own
-the manual for the ice-cream maker Matt insisted we register for
-instructions on hooking up the printer we got rid of two years ago
-the manual that came with the fan we bought last summer
That last one should tell you how obsessed and careful I am about keeping instruction manuals. You never know when you're going to forget how to PLUG IN A FAN. (Or, as the manual calls it, a "power air circulator.") And that's why this next one is so frustrating...
Thing that is not in my "Manuals and Warranties" folder:
-the manual that came with Lindsey's car seat
You know, only the more important, potentially life-saving piece of baby gear we own. The one that has about a million ways to install it incorrectly. The one that we'll need to take out and re-install facing forwards in a couple months. Grrrr. Why did you leave me when I needed you most, Filing Skills??
But on the bright side, if anybody wants to make dust-flavored ice cream, well... I'm your girl.
it's probably on a downloadable PDF somewhere on the interwebz. Our carseats actually had manual holders on the backside of them, so that was pretty sweet.
ReplyDeleteI once threw away the box and warranty for a toaster oven that caught on fire a week after we got it. Fail.
ReplyDeleteah, good idea, Mary! I bet you're right.
ReplyDeleteNadine, I'm glad I'm not the only one losing important documents.
