    I worked in Germany for four months several years ago and becaus of the uncertainty over the length of the project I was in a hotel for all but two weeks of it. Now imagine what you've gone through every day.

    ugh. I've only had one hotel maid ever take it upon herself to mess with all my stuff. It wasn't enough she just rearranged it either; she also helpfully tossed the grocery bag I had all the stuff in, the ziplock bag I had to keep the the damp razor from dropping on everything else, and the shopping bags sitting with the big pile of books I'd brought to get signed that weekend. :mad:

      I know that feeling. :laugh: :laugh: About 4 years ago, I was sent on a trip (duration uncertain, but was told would it would be two to four days). I had packed enough stuff for three days, and I had to pull off three months.

        I applied preshave oil, worked up lather in the scuttle and when I want to slide in a blade into the razor... THE FOOKIN' PACK OF BLADES IS MISSING - IT'S GONE! Reason? It appears that someone (most probably the father) has 'organised' things in my wardrobe for me. It definitely looked messy earlier, but back then I could find what I wanted instantly. Now it looks good, but I CAN'T SEE SHIZ! This is the second time he's organised things for me in two years. Last time, I almost literally lost a thumb drive and had to search for an hour or so to find it out. I see he's trying to help me, but... I came in late, and have to leave early in the morning (meeting - I wish I could shave). The dinner was at my sister's home, and I forgot my phone there. The parents stayed back there for the night and now I'm doomed. :(( Organising things. Give me a break. :suss:

        ROTFL! Only twice in two years! Just thank your god(s)/lucky stars you don't have me for a father.

                Every week my place gets cleaned. Every week the cleaning women rearranges my my toiletries and changes my toilet paper roll from the right way to the wrong way. I am thinking about just labeling my entire house with the proper place for all items ... but that might be weird.

                      They kept promising every day that it would be over "tomorrow". It took me about a week to realise I weren't going anywhere and I purchased some clothes (the good thing is I submitted my bills for reimbursement and they had it done). And I did another round of purchasing in a month from there, and one more later a few days before I left.

                          I know how it feels. I'm a mess too. But I can find anything in that mess. As soon as girlfriend or mom or... organize things I'm doomed to hours of search for well almost anything. DeOrganize is the only way out. :)

                                    I tried growing a beard and trimming it off occasinally, but somehow I couldn't be comfortable with it. May be it's time to give it another chance.

                                      I applied preshave oil, worked up lather in the scuttle and when I want to slide in a blade into the razor... THE FOOKIN' PACK OF BLADES IS MISSING - IT'S GONE! Reason? It appears that someone (most probably the father) has 'organised' things in my wardrobe for me. It definitely looked messy earlier, but back then I could find what I wanted instantly. Now it looks good, but I CAN'T SEE SHIZ! This is the second time he's organised things for me in two years. Last time, I almost literally lost a thumb drive and had to search for an hour or so to find it out. I see he's trying to help me, but... I came in late, and have to leave early in the morning (meeting - I wish I could shave). The dinner was at my sister's home, and I forgot my phone there. The parents stayed back there for the night and now I'm doomed. :(( Organising things. Give me a break. :suss:

If you don't need *those* things (and good design should tell you) then by all means get a factory, factory, factory. --code-frog Why would you need to date, when C++ is your soul mate?! --Steve Echols
