AC-W IV

I just set up this file holder with a folder for each person we send things to in our other office. I sent out an email asking everyone to put items for each person in the appropriate folder. As I clicked send, I just knew AC-W would have something to say about it and was surprised when she did not reply (all of course because she always replies all). Just now she walked over to the shelf where it is and started inspecting it. This is the conversation that followed:



"These folders will fall."
"No, they won't."
"Yes, they will. It's open."
"That is a file holder. It was specifically designed to hold files.
That is all it is for."
"Well, it's open all sides. It's supposed to be boxed in"
"No, it's not."
"The files will fall."
"They won't fall. That is what it is for. That is a file holder. If
you go to Staples.com and look up file holders, you will see a picture
of that item."
"Well, we'll see."
"We won't have to see because that is a file holder and we have been
using it to hold files for three years and that is all it does."
"Wellllll, we'll see."

And she walked off.

Only you could get into a fight over a file holder. Not that you were indeed right to stand your ground over such matters. I know your love supplies of all kinds and manage to work the phrase "Staples.com" into everyday conversation...

Hey you said you wanted comments, i can't help if mine are snarky...
