We got all the boxes in the warehouse sorted into categories depending on the first letter of the customer name. Now all we have to do is alphabetize each category, put them back in the boxes, and then index them. I feel pretty good about that.

Here's something, though. I hung 26 signs on the wall. One sign for each letter of the alphabet. I stacked the files under their corresponding letter. This made it easier for me to find which stack each file goes in. The maintenance man for the school downstairs came in, looked at my signs and said, "Is the alphabet so hard that you need reminders."

To which I replied as dryly as possible, "It's easier to read the sign and see where the file goes than it is to look through each stack to make sure it's the proper place."

He looked sort of hurt and says, "I was just joking."

"I know," I replied.

And I think I found the crux of why people think I have no sense of humor. I refuse to laugh at jokes that are made to make me look or feel stupid. Keep in mind, I barely know the maintenance guy (who's name, btw, is Guy) and I have no obligation to humor him.

So here's a tip to all of you out there: don't try to break the ice with jokes that insult someone's intelligence.
