I may have been more prone to that as a child, but I'm not immune as an adult.

Sam wants to paint the entire room and ensemble a the boys' new loft bed.
Can he do it? Yeah, half ***ed and at the expense of everyone around him. I will never understand why he can't break tasks up into smaller chunks and do them over a longer period of time. He upsets himself, and everyone around him.
That's kind of the attitudes that are prevalent.
I still need to get my top hat, though. The men's clothing store moving out of the neighborhood really made that more difficult for me.

What about toe jam? It was popular as a song lyric, but doesn't seem popular otherwise.
And the unedited version for the fans.
I used to be like that. If I was assembling a model car, airplane or the like, I would do it all in one go or it wouldn't get done at all. I've gotten better. Practicality was a driving force in changing my address of large jobs.
The other problem, and I've only recently come to understand the meaning of it, was if I couldn't do it perfectly, I would lose interest in trying. Again, I've gotten better. It has to do with understanding that I'm actually one of those people that I've always scoffed at. A perfectionist.
I think that's how he does it, too. He'll admit he's a perfectionist, though, and scoff at the rest of us because we're not.
I really wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for all the negative comments towards everyone.
Wow, that's weird to me.
I ran after Ares, who escaped and threw himself in a stranger's yard.
I keep saying it, but I really need to work on my running skills. I can go fairly fast, but it KOs me.

I had a friend growing up that considered himself a perfectionist. I used to razz him about it. Told that perfectionism implies a perfect that can be known and attained, and we can't know it or attain it. And that visions of perfection vary with the person, place and time. They can't all be right.
Then a few years ago, I was reading, a then recent article on the subject and it described the characteristics of perfectionists and my eyes got big and my jaw dropped. It was describing many of my own traits. So took that seriously to see what I could do to address some of those traits and to take things more in stride.
I'm not openly negative to others, and in large part I'm not really concerned with what others do that doesn't effect me, but some perfectionists can be rather hostile in the manner.
Wouldn't that indicate a potential zombie?
I think you handled the discovery of this personality trait in a pretty awesome way. Way to go!
It's an ongoing project and some days I do better than others. But thank you.
I am never sure about the ignore function, but recently I just decided to put two people on it. It was pretty clear no matter how hard I tried, they had no interest in learn anything. And I was beating a dead horse. Sooner or later, I was going to say something I shouldn't and came close more than once in my opinion. Nothing I did in that case was going to make things perfect. Or even sufficient.
But now it is. Out of sight, out of mind.
Is there a prize if I can guess which two?
Wait...You're Ford Prefect?
Holden ute perfect. My old man owned a prefect at one point, it was a shameful time.
That's what I discovered.
It's not really a guess, when you pretty much know.
I don't know. Looks sort of useful.
I hiked 1.9 miles today. Not a lot, but it is a good new start.
