"How can you diagnose someone with an obsessive compulsive disorder, then act like I have some choice about barging in here?"

The other day I was poking some fun at the ASSociate and how his shoes looked like hell. As I stood there, toothbrush and toothpaste in hand (to go brush my teeth after lunch) telling him to wipe his shoes off and then use the shoe shiner in my what I call my "comfort drawer" (it contains all sorts of weird things; but I'm getting there) to shine up his shoes. He laughed and asked if I ever thought I had obsessive compulsive disorder. I laughed back and told him I know I do. I then proceeded to ramble on about how I can't be without glasses cleaner, a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, among other things. Then I got to thinking about my paranoia of not being prepared and the level it's gotten to, it "might be" (read: is) beginning to border on unhealthy.

In my car I keep (at all times):

  1. Toothbrush
  2. Toothpaste
  3. Mouthwash
  4. Dental Floss
  5. Oral-B Brush Ups (Really the first 3 are leftover ever since this wonderful invention came out)
  6. Individual Glasses Cleaner Wipes (since the bottle of spray would freeze in the winter)
  7. 2 Umbrellas
  8. A Shoe Shiner
  9. Gum
  10. A Bottle of Water
In My "Comfort Drawer" I keep:
  1. Toothbrush
  2. Toothpaste
  3. Mouthwash
  4. Dental Floss
  5. Oral-B Brush Ups
  6. Glasses Cleaner
  7. Glasses towel
  8. A Shoe Shiner
  9. Gum
  10. Lip Gloss
  11. Loose Powder (in case my face gets shiny)
  12. Chap Stick
  13. Motrin
  14. Hydrocortizone Cream (I really can't even explain this one)
  15. English Breakfast Tea
  16. Green Tea
  17. Hot Chocolate (Ghirdelli)
  18. Cough Drops
  19. Body Spray
  20. Hair Ties
  21. Lotion
  22. Spare Pair of Nylons
  23. Napkins (in case I spill my coffee or water)
  24. Band-Aids (because clearly a law office is really dangerous)
Yeah, I'll be the first to admit, that's a little weird.
