No he's very good at compartmentalizing his disorganization. He's good at his job and always early or on-time getting to work and with deadlines. He's also in the military reserves and no one there would ever think he's disorganized. But in his home/personal life? Completely disorganized! He knows it and admits it. He seems to think it's funny.
On a drill weekend at the base he could be yelling at people below him about not letting stuff go till the last minute and being proactive. But at home, he does just what they did.

Interesting. Maybe at home he rebels against the excessive discipline the military requires.
He is quite disorganized in general--always losing things, doing things at the last minute, etc--while I tend to plan and schedule things. He would readily admit that (but not change it).
When we were just dating in the beginning, I think he was always running late to pick me up, and decided it was better to get me, and THEN do his errands, so that at least he could say "I was on time."
I can't even begin to get into how many times he gets into his car and then runs back into the house because he forgot stuff. Sometimes he even leaves for work and drives several blocks, and has to drive home again to get something he forgot. But that could be a whole other thread.
Thanks to those of you who agree with me and hate "pit stops." When I'm going some place, I want to go there, and not add other things on to the trip, making it into some big production.
Wow, I never knew that MAC machines and MAC cards were a regional thing? I just thought the MAC name went out of fashion or got changed to the generic "ATM." Did other geographic areas have other names for them? Now that I think about it, I did have a co-worker in the 90s who said something about going to the "star machine" or something like that. But she was from some other part of the country, I forget where.
I completely forgot that we used to call them MAC cards until I read your post. I'm from New Jersey, though, so I'm close enough to you that there probably wouldn't be any significant regional difference. In the 90s, they were called MAC cards and you went to the MAC machine. I think the terminology just got changed, and we are old.

Someone FINALLY gets it. !!!!!!
