I guess I shouldn't take myself that seriously. At work, we often help out the data processing department. We get a stack of notices printed on old fanlfold paper, and we pick out the important data and enter it into an Excel spreadsheet. Of course it's annoying to tear each sheet of paper off the stack, but I find it easier to work with loose paper than fanfold stuff.

I learned that there is a trick to tearing large stacks of paper. If you hold the paper a certain way, you can effectively set up a chain of tearing a single sheet of paper (compared to tearing all the paper at once). It's impressive to see a normal human being tear a phone book. I'm not all that good at this, but with perforations, it's a little easier.

The lady who sits in the cubicle to my left noticed me slowly tearing an inch-thick stack of paper all at once. I had to explain that it wasn't nearly as hard as it looks. Deep down I was feeling pretty clever.

That is, until she said, "you are so lazy."
