Some days work is slow. Dealing with useless Government Employees, Problems that require days of fixing or just teachers who don't understand anything with buttons apart from shirts, it
can just make life... slow.

Don't get me wrong, I like my job. It pays the bills and I can work at my own pace but some days that pace... anyways.

This really has nothing to do with what I'm blogging about, except tell you where i am. See I've realised, while working at this job, that i have this little obsession.

As i walk around this school, there is a tiling floor (hope that is how you spell it) It is made up of a whole lot of red square with blue and yellow ones interspersed (again with the spelling) and it seems each time I walk somewhere I have to make a pattern in my head of which ones I step on. Not like to the fact that I'm jumping from one to another. Yeah that would be a little weird, but just to the fact that its like red blue yellow or something.

It's kinda weird that I've only just realised it because thinking back, while walking along a normal footpath (sidewalk for you North Americans out there) I have this thing where i have to take 3 steps per ever 2 slabs or something like that.

I mentioned this weird walking/counting fact to a friend because I didn't want to sound like a crazy person (even though you are probably thinking it right now) and she comforted me by saying that everyone has weird compulsive obsession things. Like little things that we need to do during the mundanes of life.

So I'm not sure how many of you still read this but if there's any of you out there, what compulsive/obsessive things do u have?

well, even though you say mine aren't in the same category as yours lol...

I HAVE to have the microwave door closed. I just have to. Can't handle it just sitting open. I realized this like 3 years ago when at housemate at camp pointed it out and how weird it was.

Second thing I can think of is that I HAVE to have a clean windshield...and I hate when you can't get them clean. But, as Matt can attess to, if it's starting to rain and there's water on the windshield, i have to turn on the wipers to clean it.

I'm sure there's more, as I'm a crazy person..but that's all I've got right now...

I do those sorts of things when I walk somewhere, specifically I don't like stepping on cracks and I have to step on each slab and even number so each foot hits it the same amount of times... I sure hope it doesn't sound like I have OCD. I used to chew food the same number of times on each side of my mouth too...
