I apparently have a problem. I mean I have lots of them like being supremely intelligent and good looking. No I am not complaining about any of these. There is a peculiar problem which I have. I am a Listophiliac. I make lists ... lots of them.
Lists help us keep organized and productive. In addition to the routine ‘grocery list’, the daily ‘to- do’ list and other lists for the taxmen, I have 200 other active lists. Here are some
- List of things I need to google – Ohh, these include a lot of new words like jailbreaking, affluenza, baggravation and what was that camelfinger.. or toe?
- List of files I need to duplicate/ back-up - I keep backing up all my files in six different storage methods including some hand written scrolls which I have buried in my mothers house. (The future East Sea Scrolls ?)
- List of the places I have been and places I plan to visit – Including hotel names, the tariff, the size of the bathroom
- List of food I dislike - this one is the longest with more than 300 entries including vegetables, lentils, fruits, scorpion kebabs, smoked lizards and other creepy crawlies
- List of formal and informal grudges – This include historical fights, family transgressions and trivial personal vendettas. (I may forgive, but forgetting is out of question)
- List of friends currently out of flavor - I am considering changing it to those in favor.. its shorter.
- List of people with obnoxious habits.
- List of my medical complaints – This one is the shortest .. has only two entries - headache and severe headache
- List of my hubby’s girlfriends – all of them are either a Bannerjee or Chatterjee .. and an occasional Deb
- And a list of the lists
The lists keep changing. I enjoy making them as much as I enjoy changing them. Do they contribute to my success?. Not sure they do, but they keep me happy
After reading this I definitely have to google "Listophilia" ;-)
