Who rocks a Rolodex?

There must be some here who still do.

In the age where most people keep their contacts on a smart phone, only the refined own a card file.

I prefer a covered swivel base rotary card file.

You know, this is the first one of these in a long time I thought was amusing.

That's probably because it hits close to home. Come on, share with us a picture of your rolodex.

ha. Me too. Usually I think these threads are kind of stupid, but when I saw the title on this one I laughed.

I don't understand why you don't like them. My experience is that when someone becomes a dad and starts getting a few gray hairs the desire to make bad puns is almost overwhelming. How can this not be up your alley, I ask?

I love them all. Some more than others. This is one is definitely a gem.

I remember working at my parents' company when I was in HS. I took a summer job there to earn enough money to buy a skateboard, then I quit. My job consisted mostly of filing invoices, running errands, answering a few phone calls, etc.

On one of the desks sat a huge rolodex filled with cards. Anyone familiar with a rolodex knows how irresistibly fun it is to spin the rolodex knob and watch the cards cascade over each other again and again. What some might not know is if you spin the rolodex fast enough, those cards begin to dislodge themselves and fly off the little retaining rails. Each card had two little notches cut out at the bottom to attach to the rolodex but the cards were never really all that secure.

I was sitting there one day spinning the black circle when all of a sudden the entire dang thing busted loose. Cards everywhere, all over the floor. My mom was pissed. I spent the rest of the day (unpaid) putting all the cards back in alphabetical order. The drive home was extra tense because I was pretty certain that the cards weren't alphabetized prior to my mishap, so I made some outrageous claim towards my parents that was ill-received (something about taking advantage of me even though they were paying me some crazy wage to sleep during the commute, listen to my walkman, and play coin-op video games in the break room for most of the day).

I wound up saving up enough for my deck, though, so it was all worth it :rockon2:

There is a difference between bad and stupid.

What makes you think I have grey hair?

I always pictured you as a silverback. That's a compliment, you know.

Shows you how attentive I am, at first I thought it was the same thread with a wholotta deleted posts.

I see you workin'.

Sadly, I am pretty darn gray these days. The weird thing is I keep forgetting about it and every now and then I look at myself in the mirror and am surprised at how gray I am. The good news is I am not bald nor is my hairline receding.

I suspect this post is almost as interesting (but not quite) as Robin's detailed description of his pre-posting thought processes.

That wound needed some fresh salt in it, thanks monkey man.

A Rolodex is useful, therefore, I have one.



While that isn't the one on my desk, it's the same model that I have.

Also, I don't have grey hair nor is my hairline receding.

Also, you don't have a cell phone... Which is why you still use a Rolodex.
