Argh.

All right, so I am perfectly well aware that I am very OCD about some things, and that I prefer things to be done in a particular way. I am also aware that not everyone is the same, regardless of how nutso I think that makes them, and I keep a tight lid on it because I know that my expectations can be a little unrealistic for the huddled masses at times.

But seriously? I'm gone a week, I leave a detailed email to tell them what to do with their credit card slips, one that isn't even out of the realm of reasonability and is easy enough to follow, and I send it a day before I leave so that they can ask me questions if they have any, and I still get a mess back? Seriously?

Does nobody think about how it'll be for the end person? Is it so difficult to put things in some semblance of order so that it's easier for someone else down the road?

One envelope. ONE that was done the way I requested and the person made the miniscule necessary effort to keep the slips neat and in date order.

When I was 17 I worked at a movie theater. The only coins we worked with in the box office were quarters, and it was well known that mine all had to be heads up, in parallel rows, in stacks of two, and removed in order from bottom right to top left. Also all dollar bills had to be face up and all pointing to the left. Once when I was on break a guy I was friends with turned every other dollar and every other quarter upside down and backwards where applicable. I tried to strangle him with my headset when I got back.

My point? OCD is not to be trifled with.
