What things do you have to have just so?

I used to go back a dozen times to reassure myself the car was locked.

If I treid that I'd just end up saying "checked de door, locked de door" to myself without having done either.

That's okay- Eric hung the shelves a bit crooked in there, so that would take care of that particular problem.

I agree! This is my pet peeve. TP and Paper towels MUST roll over the top of the roll. They were invented to be this way. Why would you want people with wet/pee/poop covered hands touching the rool to get the start of the roll down off the back side??? Forcryinoutloud!

I've heard it has something to do with playful pussies, RStar. But what do I know about that? Nothing, that's what.







What can I say, I'm a dog person.

I have an itty bitty car so if I pull all the way into a parking space it doesn't look like there's a car there at all. This doesn't bother me except at home. I pull the car in to the carport space just far enough so that the car is visible along with all the other cars. I discovered I was obsessive about this when my son drove the car and I fussed until he backed the car out to the appropriate position. He probably starting researching rest homes that very night.

Drinks must be served in the proper glassware, cognac in a snifter, champagne in a flute or saucer, Martini in a cocktail glass. I'll make due if I have to, but I often bring along glassware when I camp or travel to make sure I don't have to settle.

My work environment.

Physical
I have to know there is a place for everything. It doesn't necessarily have to be there at any given time, in fact on average it's more chaos than organization but I have to know that should the mood strike me I can get everything organized.

Virtual
When it comes to my PC's I'm a freaking Felix Unger. On my main PC all files are neatly named and organized into folders by subject and indexed via Google desktop. I use a series of virtual PC's setup for various sub-tasks I don't want cluttering up my main system. I have scripts that zip, encrypt and ship all my important files to offsite storage weekly as well as to several external drives located in various parts of the house. All pc's have battery backup with auto-shutdown/Re-start software. I run my own mail servers, family photo website, and FTP dropbox.
