I couldn't claim to be brilliant in many areas. Well, I could, but I'd be fibbing. I’m more of a jack of all trades. I can do a bit of everything, but nothing brilliantly. Except for my organisational skills. Now they're pretty impressive.
If you need organising, I’m your man! Nothing ever goes awry on my watch, and if it does, well, it’s someone else's fault. I organise everything to the nth degree.
I run our little compound the way I ran my past businesses: like a military operation. Alarms are set, schedules are followed, and no task escapes notice. Jobs are listed on the fridge with magnets left behind by the previous owner. It’s a running to-do list with no room for forgetting or excuses.

We store quantities of quite a few necessities incase of plague and pestilence and I have an inventory posted on the door of each storage press. Records are kept scrupulously and updated meticulously. I even taught the lads a simple mnemonic: “Second last? Order fast.” Use the penultimate box of tissues? You'd better be logging on to reorder.

The system is flawless in design, form, and function. Naturally, since I devised it myself.
Experience has taught me that if you don’t organise them, people just slack off. But give them a list and a schedule? Magic happens. And it it doesn't they get a damned good trashing!
Only kidding. I'm a pacifist. I was thumped in the face once, during a robbery. No, I wasn’t the robber, I was the robbee. I have engaged in fisticuffs on a few occasions, so I may or may not have poked a few people in the eye...in self-defence, of course, but I've never thumped anyone in the face. With the size of my biceps, I imagine I’d pack a fairly hefty punch.
I tried to get a photo for you, but since I couldn’t quite capture their magnificence, you’ll have to take my word for it.
I’m not brilliant at the selfie thing.

prompt asking 'What would you say you're brilliant at doing? and Have you ever been punched in the face or have you ever punched or slapped someone else in the face?'
Please excuse my deplorable photos, but have you ever tried to take a photo in a press?
Now how I imagine how you run your place
Hahaha, that's exactly what it looks like around here, except my whip is a cat o' nine tails!
I am not surprised that you are brilliant at organizing. I also don't believe that is the extent of your brilliance. You sure do shine here :)
That's certainly true, but alas, humility is my middle name.
As the song goes...Oh lord it's so hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way:)
😇
I think meeting you in person would be very intimidating...but you are great fun on line. Thanks for all the chuckles.
Intimidating? Oh no! Really? But...but...but, I'm a cuddly bundle of fluffiness.
So...you're brilliant at being a jack of all trades and organising; seems like a reasonable couple things to be brilliant at.
Fucken brilliant.
As you and I know, there are a myriad of things at which I am brilliant. I mentioned only two as I was giving humility a try...but I don't think it suits me:)
Haha, yeah it's not a good look, just celebrate your brilliance!
Is robbee a real word? 🤔
No, but it should be!:) The English language suffers from a deficit of precise, useful words.
Great idea, we do that in the hospital's narcotic drugs cupboard.
Is your pen also on a string? So it does not walk about? haha!
Each press has two pens of different colours, both on strings. leaving no margin for error!:)
I believe every word you wrote after seeing your refrigerator. You have a SLOF method but I figure also a FIFO as well😀
You can trust me! I never lie on a Sunday.
The Slof method? Has to be better than the Sloth and Slob methods:) And you figure correctly...First In First Out!
😀
It took me a long time to hammer that into the heads of everyone working with me. I had to up it to 2 boxes left, so they don't screw it up.
Funny enough, even making them lists does not work. Many times, they just followed the instructions once, noticed that it works great, felt invincible because they thought it was them who did the magic, and then forgot about the lists, starting to screw up again. And no, they did not notice that they were screwing up, because they're invincible, so it couldn't be them. sigh
But I'm prepared for that now. I know how to control that. But still, that's one of the biggest clashes of culture that I experienced living here 😅
Hahaha, That's ultra frustrating for a German. I know you are methodical with exceedingly high standards. I only ever had one job, that was in a guest house and my boss was German. She used to have us scrub out the wardrobes with a scrubbing brush after each guest.
Moving to Ecuador definitely was a "character strengthening experience". And I did loosen up a lot, after a few years. Not too much, because one thing I noticed it that exactly that methodical thinking was key to my financial success here. It was a huge advantage towards the rest of people, and most successful people I know are very organized, too.
And luckily, I never got to the level of scrubbing wardrobes. But I did send a few nasty messages with pictures of 2g of dough that were glued to the wall.
