Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Me?

I am not making fun of people with OCD, just to let you know! I am constantly organizing, alphabetising, and labeling the desks in my area of the E.R. Dr. Nowysz noticed this and started interviewing me for my mental health history. I then proceeded to tell him that I have mapped out the hospital so that no matter where I go - I am going in a counter-clockwise circle. I also have Des Moines mapped out for the purpose of driving in the same manner. I cannot drive from my mother's house by Mason City to my father's house in Center Point, because that would be clockwise from Des Moines. I must go to my father's first. That is just one of my many "quirks". Ask Brenda - she can list them all. So, Dr. Nowysz has unofficially diagnosed me with OCD. The nurses laugh at me every day. I laugh at myself every day. I realize that there is no reason for some of my anal tendencies, (Most have very definite reasons.) and I do see the humor in it all. That doesn't, however, stop me from doing any of it. OCD's OK with me! I just call it organized.
