Ok it’s out there. One of my defects is about to be explored.
- Coffee Baristas, do you ever find yourself tipping out half a litre of milk because it didn’t froth the way you expected?
- Pizza makers, do you ever re-arrange the pepperonis or the olives on a pizza because they weren’t evenly distributed?
- Office gentlemen, Do you ever knot a neck tie 2 or 3 times until you get the right length?
These are some of the things I often do when things don’t turn out the way I would like them to. I know it sounds excessive but I’m just fussy. I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I take great pleasure in seeing things come out great. There’s nothing like eating an almost perfect pizza, drinking great coffee and knowing your tie is precise on length. Stupid things like this make me happy on a daily basis. I don’t get upset when something comes out average but I pursue and immensely enjoy excellence. You have to be willing to pay for it most the time too.
