YAY I worked out how to use the espresso machine at home!! And I can froth milk and it goes properly *frothy*, so I can make myself a cappuccino Or a latte!!

Yes, I am aware that an espresso machine is NOT difficult to use, neither is it difficult to froth milk. But I had trouble with it, and all I could make was a "flat white", or wait till my housemate made me a coffee.

I can make my OWN coffee!! YAY!!!

I was wondering, what "simple" tasks have you had trouble with? Isn't it great when you finally work the stupid thing out?

I can open a safe!

Now I finally don't have to ask somebody for help every time I need to get into one.

I can do my entire 8-minute morning school routine in 2 minutes, and still get to class on time without running.

Eh, really though? Pulling off a few simple yo-yo tricks is something Im proud of...

Ever get that feeling that EVERYONE can do a certain thing but you? Doesn't it suck? But when you learn to do it, it feels great!

Yeah, when I was little I couldn't tie my shoelaces.
Turns out nobody else could either, but we all had each other fooled what with our parents doing it for us.

And yay, I'm still stoked that I've sussed out the damn espresso machine. I used to help at a cafe and use a real espresso machine, but for some reason the little one at home was completely unfathomable till I had the button configuration and timing explained to me.

I figured out how to put videos onto my new iPod.

A simply task that bothered me for awhile.

What I find funny about simple tasks is...

Before you work them out, they're completely and utterly confusing and impenetrable.
Once you work them out, you wonder what the big deal was.

Just that little bit of understanding and it all makes perfect sense.

Hop my bike. For years I couldn't do it. Then this year, I figured it out, and I don't know why I couldn't do it.

Here's another one that I had trouble with -- although it was demystified for me a long time ago.

HTML.

Completely confusing for a while, and then one day I just "got it", and it all made perfect absolute sense.

Now I'm just too lazy to bother using it to make myself another layout

When you "get" something it's a way of saying that you understand it. Get it?
