Power Adapter, Anyone?
Our house is slowly being overrun by power adapters. I discovered this fact today while unwrapping a new Bluetooth headset I was given for my birthday. Like all new electronic gadgets, it came with its own proprietary power cord. Now, this isn't the only Bluetooth headset I have. The new one, like my previous model, is manufactured by Plantronics. There is nothing wrong with my old model; it still works fine. I've had it for a couple of years, and in that time I have yet to figure out how it works. I have been able to pair it with the various phones I have owned during the life of the headset, but answering a call with it usually involved disconnecting the calling party. I did try once to adjust the volume on it, but I only succeeded in deafening myself in one ear temporarily with the volume tone. I don't have very high expectations with regard to this new headset either. I was curious to see if the power cord from the older headset worked with the new model, and it does. So now I have two power cords when I really only needed one. Eventually I will break one of the headsets, either by sitting on it in the car, or stepping on it as I exit my car and it falls off my head into the pavement. And this is where the power cord multiplication comes in.
We still have most of the cords, adapters, and charging bases for many of the electronic gadgets we have purchased over the years. Heck, we still have many of the old, inoperative or outdated cell phones we have upgraded. Why? I have no idea. And their respective charging cords have been tossed into a basket on our counter, looking like a huge black tarantula overflowing out of the basket. Now I did try and clear up the clutter and confusion by labeling them at one time, but "Mike's headset" is a little ambiguous. Especially with more than one. Don't even ask me to figure out which "Phone charger" goes with which phone...
Do you think I can find the correct cord when I need to charge my phone or headset.
Of course not. So what do I usually do?
Yep, that's right.
Buy extra power cords.
Help me.....
