What things do you have to have just so? - Page 5

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.

You know I'm only joking, right? No need at all to go and check that Room right now, because I'm only joking, aren't I ?....

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

So how does everybody feel about their OCD rituals? Do you like them?

I was told once I had OCD, but I responded that wasn't possible because the letters were in the wrong order.

That's not a ritual. That's a known fact

I am a creature of habit. I function best with steady routine, order and everything in its place. Chaos, uncertainty and things left in the air or 'whatever happens happens' irritates me and renders me pretty useless. So yes, I do like my rituals and my habits.

Unfortunately, that particular feature refuses to work on my work computer. It just takes me to a "page not found" screen.
