Ron Altier Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have seen the "sex screws" before, however I did not know what they were called. Handy Dan showed a picture and their name. So I just figured I'd get a couple. However, I was apprehensive when I entered Google to see them. What would I get entering that........PORN? Sure sounds like it could happen.

Popular Post DAB Posted February 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 13 hours ago, DAB said: I’ll tell you a funny story tomorrow about “sex bundles”. ok kids, gather around for a story of spell check gone wrong: some years ago, i worked for an engineering company that did building inspections for investors - real estate due diligence is the proper term. anyway, we did lots of buildings. lots. thousands. and some clients had large portfolios, so it would take several months to see them all and write all the needed reports. so at some point, a large portfolio was done and delivered. everyone happy as far as i know. and as part of marketing, someone in the executive wing decided to show off this accomplishment and explain what was done, and by extension, what could be done for your large portfolio. cool. so a glossy, 4 color mailer was printed up. hundreds of them. to mail out to clients. one day, i'm in the office, chatting with someone who has a pile of these mailers getting ready to go out. many had already been sent. i ask, 'can i read that?' "sure" now as background, at that time, it was my job to both write these reports (about 20 pages of text on average) and review other reports prepared by others. I read every word. i did not use spell check. so i read this mailer. and in the middle of the text they intended to say that the reports had been sent out in "six bundles". but that's not what the mailer said. oh no. It said the reports were sent out in ....... "sex bundles" oh my. now this mailer had been reviewed by several executive types, the print job had been approved. the printer cranked out hundreds of these things at not a small cost. and me, some low level engineer with attention to detail had caught this. oh did the poop hit the fan. not my fault, i gotta go. bye. did i mention that they had already sent out hundreds of these? bwhahahaha...... so much for your reliance on spell check. read it. read it again. have your wife read it. so watch out for those "sex bundles" end of story time.

schnewj Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have had similar experiences. You would not believe the simple mistakes that are often overlooked. Having been there and done that, myself, many times! I always had my guys read and review each others investigation reports. Hopefully, they caught and corrected ALL of the mistakes before my final review. Sometimes, the simplest mistakes got overlooked by everyone...including me. If the investigation was for anything other than in-house the report was vetted by multiple sets of eyes, prior to providing it to the customer. If it had the potential of being a litigated case the in-house counsel always signed off. The problem is, that the mind usually sees what it expects to see. Studies have shown, that, the mind fills in the blanks. We don't always "read" what is actually on the page. That is why "six" slipped by as "sex". Sometimes it can be embarrassing and sometimes it can cause some real heartburn. Good story DAB! p_toad, HARO50 and Dadio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 the other problem is that if you know someone is going to review your work, you mentally count on them to catch mistakes. and your reviewer expects you to get it right, so they really don't critically read it either. then the boss has to sign off, and he knows he has 2 good men preparing and reviewing, so he just signs it, unread. oops.
