- Field vices...
When you travel like myself and a few of my fellow colleagues, you begin to develop one, or a series of habits, activities or pastimes that are only partaken in when staying away from home. Most often times than not, these acquired activities would be deemed inappropriate for work being done in a more professional atmosphere such as an office building. Some actions may even be deemed socially/ethically/morally unacceptable by those yet to experience what extended periods of working long hours, dining on strange or unhealthy foods, hotel stays, dealing with assholes and difficult working conditions that field work can often bring with it.
More often than not these habits result in embarrassing oneself, hurting oneself, and/or the loss of ones money, self worth, self respect or pride.
Not quite sure why we develop these odd habits, may be some form of coping with a deviation from the norm or something... but I do know that it's interesting to find out what everyone elses field vice is, including my own.
I choose not to reveal all of them at this point in time, but I do know that a new field vice is needed... I've chosen for the better, to give up my last field vice for good... curious to see what field vice the next work trip will bring.

- When people say "I could care less"...
Damnit people! This is a typical case of not thinking about what you're saying (which I am way too often guilty of).
Think about the commonly used phrase stated above.
Have you figured out what's wrong with it?
This phrase is used as a way of expressing ones lack of concern for something, is it not? So if one was able to care less about something... which the phrase "I could care less" does, then obviously the person cares about the thing they're claiming not to care about.
The phrase should be said "I could not care less".
From here on out, please try to throw that little "not" in there for me, you'd save me the aggravation of having to correct your choice of grammar (even though mine sucks).

You're so right about the "I could care less" phrase. Everyone with exception to you, of course, is an idiot.
Even myself. Oh well, I could care less.
