high standards

i work part-time in a clothing store. a big clothing store. i'm relatively new there; about 3 months. and the other night, when we were closing the store, one of the managers asked me why i had such high standards. did i work somewhere really strict?

no. that's just the way i am. everything has to be perfect. i like my closet when all the shoes line up and my tee shirts are all folded the same width and color coordinated. i don't know why. throughout my schooling, i would have "bad handwriting days." if i wrote something and thought it didn't look perfect, i would erase it and re-write it. freak. of. nature.

i go back and forth between thinking that this behavior is all right and thinking that i am a perfectionist to a fault. the thing is, it's not the end of the world if an ugly page exists in one of my notebooks. i just feel more content if everything is just right.

how do i make sure that i am using my high standards for good and not evil?
