From the Filing File

Today, I finally tackled that big pile of papers on my desk.  I was determined to properly organize and file them, just in case something happens to me, like I get hit by a bus or unexpectedly move to a Twin Cities suburb or something like that.  Any who, I think I did a great job.  You be the judge…

Great Job Filing Dave

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Wow, great job Dave.”  Well, thank you very much, but here’s the thing, it took an extra amount of effort because I have something wrong with my wiring.  Now, I know you’re thinking, “We already knew that,” but hold on and allow me to illustrate using the very exciting “Purchasing Regulations” file.

No you say, “Great choice, Dave, this should be an incredible use of the full power of the Internet.”  Just give me a chance!  There we have it, the sought after “Purchasing Regulations” file.

This is the way a file should sit.  Don’t argue with me, just accept this as a fact.  Okay, good.

Unacceptable!  They should of course look like this…

Paper Right-side Up

Ahhhh, that’s better.  The problem is that I like to enter papers like this…

Papers Wrong

Which leads to this…

Unacceptable!  Therefore, all morning, I had to force myself to file like this…

Awkward, but not as awkward as this…

Get Your Chewy On

Look at poor big brother Jacob on the right…  poor suffering soul, but anyway, where was I?  Oh that’s right, putting the paper in awkwardly to start resulted in the correct end result (see below)…

Ahhhh, the struggles I overcome just to do a great job.  Just don’t get me started on magazines…
