Jeff's blood pressure just went up a notch 🙂
wait until Joe gets in on this
I want to see how high we can get that pressure up - in the mean time , lets help this fella out
If OP used punched cards he wouldn't be having all this trouble.
It's ok - jeff reads punchcards like he is a blind man reading brail- he can do it. it's Kimball tags he fails with
Heh... and I've found a lucrative side business... I sell the chad from the punchcards to the Broward County Canvassing Board in Florida. 😀
it's more fun putting all shredded paper and chad into the umbrellas we have at reception - once you turn it upside down it's instant snow.

Is 'chad' an American term? I have no idea what it means!

you know the little dots of paper that you have to empty from the hole punch... that's chad (i'm from the UK I had to google it)
ps - umbrellas aren't the only place you can put it - car Air conditioning vents and windscreen sun visors are fair game if you leave your car keys on the desk after I found a new cursor checked into source control - if they didn't check it in then I use glitter 🙂
Never mess with a DBA 🙂

Thanks, Mike. I am also from the UK.
When I Googled 'chad', I ended up learning a lot about a country in Africa, but nothing about hole-punch waste! 🙂

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_punch#Multiple_hole_punches
Most multiple-hole and many single-hole punches accumulate the waste paper circles (chads) in a chamber, which must be periodically emptied in order to allow the continued operation of the punch. For large stacks of paper, a process of drilling may work better than punching.
PS: I'd never heard of chads either.
