To start, since I have been collectively moving for over a month now, I have been living surrounded by boxes and the like. So, it comes as no surprise that I have this urge to get unpacking over with as soon as possible — an urge so strong that I woke up this morning at the crack of dawn just to get started on my day off (woo-hoo!). I have been unpacking at least 2 boxes a day since last weekend so I am in the home stretch and thus have moved to decorating which is WAY more fun! Today, I decided to organize my DVD’s on my new shelf — which leads into the following Type-A personality self realization:
I always knew I was a little Type A BUT I believe this just solidifies it. To start, I alphabetized my DVD’s then proceeded to index them in Excel. From there, I sorted by title and crossed checked my shelf against Excel to ensure they were actually in order. It was early so I figured that I would have some misplacements but nope, they were right.
Back to Excel, I wrote a macro (my engineering coming through) to cross check my DVD’s with Thomas, which I had already alphabetized and indexed in Excel a couple of months ago, to see if there were any multiples – found we only have 4 the same! Then, I looked up some of the DVDs on Amazon to see the prices, took an average sampling – I’m not that crazy to look up every movie (though it was considered) – and calculated about what I have spent on DVDs. Let’s just say that since I have 118 DVD’s, I have spent way too much!
What’s even worse is that a pretty high percentage of these aren’t even open! Dannnng me and my shopping habits!
