'Perfectionist'

I'm not a perfectionist but I always try to make sure I do everything almost perfectly. This goes for everything, even when I'm working on something I know isn't going to come out good.

When I started doing my essay assignment at the last minute, say 2 days before the deadline for a 5000 words assignment, I'll make sure the alignment is justified, the format is synchronized across the essay, I use the correct fonts etc. This goes on until I'm fully satisfied that the assignment is perfect, to my standard, in terms of its presentation even when the content may not be as good.

This one happened today.

I was on my way back from the hospital when I decided to stop by the 99Mart to get some snacks. I guess my so called 'perfectionist' habit decided to kicks in because instead of parking on the road side for a quick 2 minutes grocery, I did a reverse parking into one of the empty parking spot next to the shop, right between two other cars on either side. And as if that's not enough, I even made sure I parked correctly, going back and forth so that the space between my car and the other two cars were almost equal! Gosh, me and my perfect habit.

But regardless, I still managed to get my groceries. So that's ok.

Till next time.
