Pete, that vid is famous now amongst my brother and his cronies. We were at my nieces Volleyball game yesterday and I was on the sidelines with both brothers and my sis-in-law's brother (uncle to A) and I said "well would you look at that" and both my brother and the other uncle chimed in and we were laughing our asses off.

Today: whining cow orker. It sucks for all of us right now, bub, and half of us have been sick. Shut up and stop making me feel I need to tiptoe around you so as not to upset the delicate balance that is your genius and professionalism.

The tab on my fly zipper keps getting turned to the side, making it difficult to unzip. Don't want to pee my pants.

I know, i know, I'm a pilot. But i am afraid of heights. I'm sitting in the cab of a ship offloading crane rfn. The cab and control room are ok but the access cat walks makes me nausiated. Was going to attach a pic but i can't upload one now for some reason...

Really, plt? I love heights. Fun and scary...scary fun!

How do you get beyond that when flying? Especially small planes? Do you just concentrate on the job at hand?

Ok.... this is really more of a 'what's mildly irritating you EVERY GODDAMNED DAY OF YOUR PITIFUL EXISTENCE?' post.

ok... so.. see these?



These are 'Deal Jackets'

We put all of the documents and copies and stuff in there for each deal. If you were putting papers in one of these, which side would you put the top of the letter oriented forms on? Would you put them to the left? I would. And I would put THEM ALL THE SAME FUCKING WAY! ...AND FACING THE FRONT FOR FUCKS SAKE!

GAH!

SRSLY.

I have way too many paperwork hangups at work. It seems logical to me, the method to my madness.

In HS the lady who ran the farm market was very upset if we didn't have all our bills facing the same direction when we turned in our drawers. I still cannot pay for anything without rearranging the bills.

Weird, I'm so OCD about some things, completely lacksadaisical about others.

My hitherto-unknown-identical twin. I make the lifeguards at the pool line up the dollar bills. But I'd put the documents in Jim's folder higgledy-piggledy just to amuse myself

I'd put the docs with the tops to the left, but only because I'm right handed. A lefty would probably put them the other way.

which would be fine if they were ALL that way, glatt. Jesus, I swear he does it on purpose.

Another thing I would do (I did this when I did 'verifications' at my old job, it really didn't take any longer and the auditors appreciated the organization) would be to put the paperwork in a certain order. I'd pull it all out of the envelope and reorganize it...some would have different paperwork but there is still a general order.

I also remove all the old staples when I staple a new sheet onto a stack of previously multiple-stapled papers.

And the staples HAVE to be at an angle to the corner. Any fool knows that when you're looking at stapled papers that diagonal staples make the paper lay the right way when you're flipping through. Otherwise the paper tears.
