    Ever wonder why it only takes 30 minutes to drive to BYU but it takes 45 to get back? It's because Provo sucks. If you absolutely have to visit our neighbors to the south, be sure to let them know how you feel about it.

Crazy About The Staircase

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Between the lobby of my office building and the floor where my desk lives there are eighty-six stairs. How do I know? I counted them. Then I counted them again. In fact, I count them every time I climb them.

Why? Umm... because I have OCD, maybe?

Also, while I'm walking up them, my brain is triggered into thinking about an episode of Hill Street Blues. One in particular having something to do with an evidence room and a misplaced pistol.

Why? Hmm... perhaps my mental issues run deeper than previously thought.

The stairs were also cut from steel plates measuring fifty-two inches by five feet. How do I know? Because it's written right on them. Nothing crazy about that, right?

One day I'll measure it just to confirm.

I am a counter, a noticer of small details, as well. I like to pretend that this is normal.

So maybe the counting is normal-ish. But the Hill Street Blues thing IS crazy, right?

You're scaring me

You scare me Pete - although - I must admit - I cross my fingers every time I ride over train tracks. Something to do with boys and jr. high. Weird...don't worry too much about it. Honest. I think most folks have some OCD and just won't admit it.

I always count the stairs too. I have several OCD-ish things I do, but like Schmutzie I like to pretend it's normal.

    I've said it before. I'll say it again. I wish this was my dog.

    Or is it wish it were? I always get mixed up on the subjunctive case.
