Just Stuff by Jan Have you ever noticed that we tend to assign methods of measurement to most everything in order to determine the success or failure of something else? And, in many cases, the method of measurement often has little or no bearing on what it is we think we're measuring. For instance, when you go to the dentist, the number of cavities you have indicates how successful you have been at brushing and flossing your teeth. One cavity isn't too bad. More than three - you need some brushing up on your brushing. Shaving is the same way. It is not the closeness of the shave that dictates a successful shave. No, it's the number of nicks that bleed and the number of tissues needed to wipe up the blood that indicate how well you have shaved. A man can have a 5:00 shadow at 2:00 in the afternoon, but if there were no snippets of tissue stuck to his chiny-chin-chin when he left the house that morning, it was a good shave. When I do the laundry, I don't judge the success of the wash by how many of the white socks come out white, rather than gray. No, the true success of the wash is how many socks are surrendered to the sock monster. The fewer unmatched socks the better. I judge the success of my dish washing expertise not by how clean the dishes are when they come out of the dishwasher, but by how few dishes are left in the sink when I run the dishwasher. No dishes, it's a success. The number of traffic tickets received during a period of time is used to measure the success of one's driving ability. But are we truly measuring what we think we're measuring? Does "fewer tickets" really equate to "better driver?" One might assume that the fewer trips to the grocery store during the week is a direct reflection of the success of planning one's meals at the beginning of the week. At my house, such is not the case. Fewer trips to the grocery store is a direct measure of how hungry I was when I went to the grocery store at the beginning of the week. Fewer the trips during the week, means I was really hungry when I shopped and I bought anything and everything that sounded even remotely good. And what about cleaning house? Someone told me they had a friend who was so clean, they had to vacuum their living room every night and clean their toilets three or four times a week. I'm sorry, but in my book, if a person has to vacuum daily and clean the john that often, it's an indication that they're a mess, rather than clean. Perhaps the more often you clean, the more poorly you actually clean. However, that logic may not hold true, either. I get by with vacuuming once a week - every two weeks if I don't have company. The toilets, well I can't push it two weeks, but I do clean a mean toilet. I must admit, there is probably a direct relationship to brushing one's teeth and number of cavities, but the success of a shave measured by the number of nicks! Not hardly...Assuming that a close shave is the desired outcome, the number of nicks and scratches bears no relation to the actual closeness of the shave...but, no matter, even if there's a patch of whiskers that got missed, if there are no nicks, it's a successful shave. The number of dishes I have left in the sink after I start my dishwasher isn't a true measure of the success of my dish washing capabilities at all. It is, however, a measure of how well I can stack dishes in the dishwasher. And I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the number of traffic tickets a person receives is no reflection of a person's driving ability. No, the number of traffic tickets measures a person's luck compared to the highway patrolman's luck, plain and simple. So, just what is it you think you're measuring...?
