I worked for a fellow who was a compulsive "list keeper" I had to type lists of every golf course he had ever golfed upon, every ski resort he had skied, a list of every flight (each flight, not trip) he took, everything he gave to the Salvation Army each year, etc. etc. Also for every special occasion (wife birthday, anniversary etc) he had me call every florist in town to find who had the best current price on three roses with no vase (he was also very cheap)

It's a lot funnier now looking back on it than it was then :lol:

At one of my previous jobs we had weekly staff meetings for all employees. Every time there a new employee, that person would get a bit of questioning from the boss so everybody had a chance to get to know the person. One of the questions every time was "Who is your favorite p*** star?" Always made the new employee squirm, the other employees always got a good laugh and the boss always expected an answer. Not only extremely inappropriate, even in a group of (usually) all men, but extremely creepy.

Maybe it's because in spite of all the work we do, it's the child in us we really value.
