Heard a dive supervisor say I was 'too slow' on a valve check last Tuesday

Turns out he meant I was being too careful, not actually slow. He showed me a trick where you feel for the pressure drop instead of watching the gauge. Anyone else have a boss who communicates in reverse like that?

Got a buddy who works in a machine shop. His foreman told him he was 'too particular' about his measurements. Turned out that was a compliment for him catching small problems early.

@murphy.abby I once got called "too particular" about my coffee and it just means I'm obsessive.

Makes sense, @milacraig, sometimes "too careful" really means "just right" in disguise.
