Taking anal retentive to a whole new level.

She has a fairly empty desk - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I noticed she has a few square things on her round organizers for round things - 
Years ago, I knew someone who was organized enough to group things on her shopping list by categories, and further, to write the groups in the order in which the aisles of the grocery store were arranged.
...occur to me, and often wander the store 2 or 3 times, and then may still overlook something that is on the list - 
Sometimes I wonder is the person watching the security camera screens notices that I am wondering around the store a couple times, often trying to remember what it was I really needed. 
I suppose, if I were organized, I could have put them all in one post. Nah.
My husband is more organized and methodical than I am. Not as bad as what's-her-name above, but he has a few quirks. Many years ago, we needed a new thermostat. For some unknown reason, the numbers on the one he bought were arranged in inverse fashion, not lower-to-higher like every other device I have ever seen. It looked like this -
50
60
70
80
90
My methodical husband decided that, to be consistent with the way the degree marking were set up, that, when we wanted to house warmer, we should say that we were going to turn the heat down, seeing as that was the way we would have to move the little lever.
Oh, hell no. I won.
And despite being more organized and methodical, guess who is always asking me where his stuff is? And guess who usually knows?
I just looked on YouTube, and she has 167 videos on organizing!!!!!!!!!!
I once worked in a pediatric practice where one of my physician colleagues was hyper-organized. She worked part-time, and if another part-timer sat at her work station when she was not there, she would know because the pencils would not be facing in the right direction when she got back. Her husband called her obsessive-repulsive -
When I first joined the Air Force nurse corps, I spent a few days in the apartment of my sponsor. I very quickly noticed that she was a neat freak, so I was extra careful to be very tidy - no hairs or spit streaks left in the bathroom sink, lined up my toothbrush and toothpaste tube side-by-side, towels hung straight, etc. I realized I had fallen short when I got in after orientation sessions one afternoon to find that my tooth paste tube had been neatly rolled up (I just squeeze it flat until there's nothing left), and it and my toothbrush had been placed in a glass.
At first I felt apologetic about failing to live up to her standards, and then I was pissed that she felt she had the right to roll up MY toothpaste tube.
I remember going to a party at someone's house. Didn't know who the owners of the house were but the woman had labeled every.single.drawer in the kitchen with what was supposed to be in there. It was a sight to behold.
The woman on the video - well she is pretty organized. Her house looks bland as hell though. And her kids artwork was on the side of the fridge instead of on the front.
