a method in this madness

My OCD’s back.

Despite my crazy [see: Asian ethnicity, astrological sign, and gender], unorganized mess is currently taking over my life. And because of my crazy [see: Asian ethnicity, astrological sign, and gender], I’m convinced I’ll always remember where things are and which hat I owe to whomever, even though history has consistently proven me wrong.

It doesn’t help that you people have similar names or even the same first name! Yes, I am blaming you all for my disorganized mess of a desk and lack of any structured system to keep tabs on what I need to do for whom, because, hello, how can anything be my fault [see: my gender]?

Okay that was a total lie [see: my gender]. I finally did get some sort of system together last night. It’s rudimentary but it works. As pretty as excel spreadsheets are, I need to be able to draw and write stuff out, and this way I can easily deprioritize people [just kidding!].

I also did some solid sweatshop labor last night and got some linings done. They even got labeled so I know I won’t forget who they’re for, and where they’re going. I mean, I’m convinced that I won’t forget even if I didn’t label them, but you know, just in case [see: Asian propensity to be overly-prepared winning out over female convictions of always being right].

As a result, my OCD’s feeling a little bit better. Although, let’s be honest, my list of names on index cards is going to bother me until it’s actually gone. Like it’s already bothering me in that toe-curling-I-need-to-get-my-work-done-so-I-can-work-on-hats-so-I-can-clean-up-that-list-of-names kind of way.

Did I mention I have the crazy?
