ctrl/c....ctrl/v.....ctrl/x....ctrl/k.....old school beed
when it comes to using different applications beed is as old school as you can get. he doesn't know why he is this way but he just is.
beed would stick an icepick in his eyeballs before he would right click or click on edit and use the pulldown command for copy or paste or insert hyperlink or cut.
beed's boss told him that he wanted beed and his das (directory analysis specialist) to make some new sortplans for our flat sorter. first off, a flat sorter is a very large machine that is used for sorting what we call flats and what you would call magazines or catalogues or large envelopes. it was made by lockheed-martin but was originally designed by some sadistic german engineers. why sadistic? cuz it is a mother-f'er to work on. fortunately for beed he no longer works on them, just makes sortplans for them.
a sortplan is a software download to a machine that tells the machine which bin to put the mailpiece in. beed had not made one for this piece of equipment in quite some time and was gonna let his das do them. but then beed's boss came in his office and said, you better get to work on those sortplans surf-boy (of course beed was jacking around on the net). beed countered that greg usually does the ones on the fsm. he told beed he better not put it all off on greg.
it was good too since it made beed work on that particular type again and let him remember how to build one. what we do though is lay it out on an excel spreadsheet first and then we use that printout to go in and construct the sortplan in the sortplan building software.
greg had laid his out in a spreadsheet but he wanted to know if beed could clean it all up for him. bein' an excel geek, beed got right to work on it. it basically involved moving a bunch of cells down and filling up all the open cells with the data from the cells above. and there were enough gaps that you couldn't just highlight the range of cells and drag them all down.
so bein' old school, with his mouse beed would click on the cell he was moving. with his left pinkie finger he held down the control key and with his left index finger he would strike the x or v alternately. ctrl/x for cut and ctrl/v for paste. in a matter of a couple minutes beed had the spreadsheet exactly like greg needed it.
you would not believe how quick beed can copy and paste or cut and paste using the ctrl key and whatever combination he needs. but it drives some of beed's friends nuts. they see him do this and they say, "why don't you just right click on your mouse and use the commands?"
beed always replies the same way miguelito used to when we told him he had his shoes on the wrong feet "because i like 'em like that". actually beed says "i like using the combinations, why don't you learn to do it that way".
they always tell beed "because the right click is easier". so solly, not for a twisted mofo like dahbeed. same thing with autocad. beed never uses the icon or the pulldown. beed types the shortcut command and hits enter.
beed is gonna run. there is more painting and trimwork to do at the casa and it's rare when beed is motivated enough to do work on the house. gotta strike while the iron is hot.
btw, is anyone else as quirky as beed when it comes to these types of things? is beed alone in his lunacy? that f'in beed, he's got more tics that a timex watch.

Hey I'm a ctrl/c etc sort of girl myself. It drives me nuts when I could have copied AND pasted faster than these people right click, drag down to copy, right click, drag down to paste. IKES! that is SOOO slow. So you aren't alone! I'm old school too!!
I use ctrl/c and ctrl/v all the time, too.
Well, homeboy, I'm a real freak. I use all of the above. It just depends on where my hands are. If I'm working with my keyboard only, then I bust out ctrl c/x/v. If I'm not messing with the keyboard and banging away on my mouse, then I do some drop-down funk!
That's just how your boy gets down!
I just do whatever I can figure out. Tell me beed you don't still draw pictures on your Texas Instruments TI-99a. HCHAR 112 VCHAR134 IF THEN GOTO. I used to spend hours writing 1800 lines just to have a balloon made out of blocks.
You lazy sumbuck!! I'd better not hear that you're working and not making a post for two whole days! I know you're excited about last night, regardless of what happened when you called me. I still love ya!
You should make an entire post only about Elgrace. You can call it your last "hoorah" to him, or something.
