Think you are having a bad day?

Do you think you are having a bad day? I just dropped a tray of 100 QFP Prop's. I tripped over the cat heading to the workbench and only one side of the tray was taped shut. :'(

So if things are not going your way this morning, just know there is a guy out there picking up Prop's off the floor one by one and praying they are Ok.

Have a great rest of the day.

    I know this has happened at many other places, including Parallax. Hang in there, iRobot - it could have been far worse if you dropped QFNs. Then you'd be using a magnifying glass and suction pencil to retrieve each one.

    So if 100 QFP "Scratch & Dent" Props show up on Ebay later today for a low price "Buy It Now", "As-Is" condition, we probably should stay clear.

    Ugh! You didn't do that just to make me feel better did you? HaHa I am glad to see unfortunate things happen to other good people though.

    The hardest thing I found about picking up those QFP chips was placing them right side up in the tray. Then being a bit OCD, they all needed to face the same direction again (naturally).

    @erco, Lol! I think your safe. I would hate to give the Propeller a bad name by me selling some funky chips. My backup plan is to take any damaged Props and make the wife some geeky earrings or something. I have used damaged Props before by putting them on product demos that will never be ran too.

    I'm still amazed that the cat has a workbench!!

    Of course, I did teach my one cat to program.....

    Rick, that message from the staff on that web page must have been very boring to put your cat asleep like that :)
