Sometimes my interactions with Awkward Coworker, now that we actually work together, are downright normal.

For a given value.

Me: I need a reality check.
Awkward Coworker: I can provide!
Me: I have the list of entries I'm supposed to edit in the database. Every time I open a new entry, the list flips back to the first page of entries in the list.
Awkward Coworker: Yes.
Me: Is that normal? The list is ten pages long.
Awkward Coworker: We've, uh, we've learned to...we live with it.
Me: Okay, just making sure.

Ten minutes pass.

Me: Hey, have you seen the VCR controls?
Awkward Coworker: In the...conference room?
Me: No, in the database. They let you go entry-by-entry without flipping back to the actual list, so the list itself becomes moot.
Awkward Coworker: What?
Me: Click the VCR Menu thing in the corner.
Awkward Coworker: I'm going to buy you a cookie!

I never say no to cookies.

The VCR controls I discovered reduce by half the number of clicks it takes to get to a given record. So glad they mentioned them, at all, in training. OH WAIT NO THEY DIDN'T.
