A while back I received some toolbox foam organizers.
These are very cool. One thing that I like about them is that you can instantly tell if a tool is missing. Sometimes I leave things lying around and forget to put them back. If I open the drawer and one is missing I go searching to find it and put it away.
That's all very cool and useful. Looks cool too! Well, except for the things that have accumulated since I carved out the spaces for the existing tools. Some tools are happy and some are still all jumbled up. Oh well.
But I made a mistake.
Can you see the mistake? Yep, every time I slam the drawer closed the pointy things slide out of their nicely carved homes and migrate towards the back of the drawer. My nice, neat mind liked the look of all the pointy things sort of facing up. Or away. But I should have put them in the other way. That way the butt ends would prevent the migration, which doesn't happen to the screwdrivers and pliers. Who knew?
Now I could just take out the foam and turn it around and that would solve the migration problem, but then the chisels would be in the back of the drawer. Harder to reach. Or I could start over and carve a new piece of foam. Or just forget it. Which is what I've done the past several years. Maybe when I retire :-).
