If so, why did you think you were clever?

I had an employer that needed to keep a maintenance journal on several pieces of equipment that wound up on various jobsites. He said the problem was that these things all looked nearly identical and wound up in different places all the time. It would be difficult to know which equipment had been serviced and had it's oil changed because of that situation.
I was listening and said, "Instead of trying to keep track of each piece and where it winds up at, just paint a number on them. Keep the maintenance journal by the number. When you show up at a jobsite, see which numbered piece is there and look in the journal."
It was so simple, I couldn't believe he was agonizing over a way to keep track of these things.

Are you kidding? It was my JW boss in my JW janitorial years.

He he, see, clever would have been negotiating a raise before you told him how to keep track of his equipment, using that information as bargaining power.
