(A logical assumption, since it's annoying me now!) Though I would like to know the explanation, which Andy may have nailed. <br /><br />Not really similar, but it calls to mind this tweet of the Monk DVD collection that I recently saw. (Monk is a TV character whose OCD was a feature of the show.) The spines line up for the first 6 seasons, but the 7th season is different. A funny joke, but also annoying.<br /><br />https://twitter.com/Cinevoice/status/1385563971009359872Jakashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-27050729271462203372021-04-27T12:38:32.501-05:002021-04-27T12:38:32.501-05:00When the aliens landed, they didn't want anyon...When the aliens landed, they didn't want anyone to be aware of their presence, so they established an SEP field around themselves.

The staff of our building had standing orders that if an item was not in a wastebasket or did not have a bright orange "PLEASE THROW OUT" sticker on it (in three languages! English, Spanish and Polish), it was to be left alone. Period. It didn't matter if it was on the floor, or even in a hallway (with certain exceptions, presumably).<br /><br />One man's trash could be another man's... I don't know, $50,000 blue beanbag prototype for next Christmas's Smurf Cornhole Adventure game. Perhaps it's a memorial for company founder Cornelius Cornhole, who expired on that spot following a budget meeting in 1937. When it's something as non-standard as a blue beanbag in a hallway, a smart cleaning staff will assume that there's a Perfectly Rational Explanation for why it's sitting there, and leave it alone.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875378656423252469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-28913063729351276332021-04-27T09:49:35.382-05:002021-04-27T09:49:35.382-05:00Well, I would definitely pick up the poor bean bag...Well, I would definitely pick up the poor bean bag and relocate it to my office. Give it some company, for gosh sake, back among the living. Until I, or some other caring soul, gets the incentive to hunt down the cornhole game and bring the beanbag back home.SandyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070366627628604352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-51647637495330501292021-04-27T07:56:28.377-05:002021-04-27T07:56:28.377-05:00I guess we'll see if the janitorial staff read...I guess we'll see if the janitorial staff reads the paper. Here's one scenario: janitor to editor, a couple days after party, "Uh, boss, what do you want me to do with this blue thing on the floor?" Editor, "What's that, you say?" Janitor, "This blue thingamajig laying on the floor. Did someone lose it at the party the other day?" "Nah -- it's lying on the floor, by the way -- just leave it there; it'll drive Steinberg nuts a few years from now when it's still there."<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-43825964247319529672021-04-27T07:13:37.737-05:002021-04-27T07:13:37.737-05:00' There's something friendly about a bean ...'
