SWMBO's filing system
Posted by: Dungassin on 22 June 2013
I've discovered where a lot of the CDs I thought I had lost or been 'borrowed' have gone! SWMBO popped her head round the door and said 'Play a bit of Russell Watson for me on your new preamp'. Checked on nStream and ... no Russell Watson.
Turns out she's got a hoard of CDs in one of the dresser cupboards downstairs. Obviously never got the idea of putting them back on the shelf (hopefully in the correct place) when she's finished with them.
So I'll be spending an hour or so ripping CDs this afternoon.
My ex-girlfriend laughs at me for filing CDs in order, and filing KFS correctly in the cutlery draw.
Most of my life is an untidy mess, but CDs and cutlery, no way.
Grrrrr
I suspect that SWMBO is responsible for the filing errors on the CD/LP shelves (I'll admit to being 'anal' about keeping them in order so that I can lay my hands on a desired disc immediately).
She has a kitchen 'filing system' as well. All the mail that comes to her (rather than me) finishes up in a huge pile next to the bread bin, and every few weeks I go through it, discard the obvious junk, and plonk the rest down in front of her with an instruction to 'deal with it or I'll shred it' ('diplomatic' or just plain foolhardy?) Amazing how much of it then finishes up in a pile for me to deal with.
But if I just put a plate back in the wrong cupboard, because it's some rarely used item and I don't know where it usually goes ... 
Got to love her, but she drives me mad sometimes.
