I love paperwork.

I'm a nerd.

When the new school year rolls around & it's time to fill out a gazillion forms for the kids' teachers, I hear all the other parents groan & grumble, so I try to play along so they won't know about the psycho that looms within me. Honestly, I'm always a little giddy with filling out the new little cards & forms.

And those shopping surveys that come in the mail? Oh yeah...love 'em. I can't tell you how many of them I've filled out & then didn't send it once I spent all that time doing it. Seriously though, most of those will get you some free coupons & sometimes a product sample if you send them in. I realize most people think that a couple coupons & a trial-sized sample isn't worth the time it takes to fill them out, but hey...some of us like it, so hush.

Tonight we had a staff meeting at work. Our director gave us a big long meeting agenda. Yeah, I'm weird. Most of the other teachers listen to the director go through the agenda at the meeting & then promptly toss the paper it's printed on. Not me. I'll read it through 2-3 times before I throw it away. I am a fruitcake. I love the details & checking little boxes & crossing all my T's & dotting I's. It makes me feel like I accomplished something I guess. I'm not sure...I just love details & paperwork.

Am I alone? Does anyone else out there feel like an idiot admitting to their love of surveys & quizzes, box-checking & form filling out? There's gotta be someone!
