Wicked Disorganized.
Feb 2, 2010 DUH, Etc., Honest Tuesday's, I Forgot to Tag, Out with the Old Wicked in with the New Wicked, Random, Wicked Wisdoms
I am so unorganized. But I am not. When it comes to work and school … and blogging … I am overly organized.
At work especially. I am suuuuuuuper organized. I have files and labels and places for everything. My desk stays clean 95% of the time. I cannot function in chaos at work. Same with school. Being that my time is so limited, I really cannot waste any minute on trying to find some shit I need for school.
At home though? Fuck. I could really use some help.
I have bills upon bills upon papers upon random letters and cards and shit that I do not need all over the place. My closet is a hot mess 95% of the time. I swear I go and get it all organized … and the next day it is as if I never even put forth an ounce of effort. My dresser drawers do not have any order what so ever. There are the most random fucking things in every single drawer. I have clothes that I know for a fucking FACT that I will never wear again because they are mostly 200lb clothes and uhm I don’t weigh 200lbs anymore, (YAY) nor will I ever be again because I stay working on my health and fitness. (most of the time anyway.)
Annnnnnnydisorganized…
My linen closet is hilarious. I don’t even know where to begin … and don’t even get me started on the boxes in the coat closet.
I have no idea why this is. I am not the hoarding type, with the exception of paperwork. I am a fucking w e i r d o with a capitol W when it comes to paperwork. Bills, letters, bills, statements, letters, cards, pictures, school shit for me and Xavier… yet there is no system for it. None. Like, if you were to come over and open a random drawer or box, you would find all kinds of shit that was completely unrelated to one another. They might be in a box with like … I dunno … some board games, or VHS movies that I will never watch again but cannot seem to get rid of to save my life.
Fuck. Am I a part-time hoarder? WTF is wrong with me?
No. Nope. Nuuuhuhhh. *shakes head*
I am making a late entry resolution. Not a “New Years Resolution” but more of a life resolution. I am going to take baby steps to get myself organized. First step is to rid myself of shit that I do NOT need. Second? Get a file cabinet with file folders to implement some sort of bill/ppwk filing process in my house. This means that I am going to have to start actually opening them when they come in the mail.
Fuuuuuuck.
I may or may have forgotten to mention that I am notorious for simply tossing a bill that I don’t feel like paying or that I know I cannot afford to pay. Or simply putting it off and saying I will “deal with it later” and then never dealing with shit.
If I am going to ever pay down my debt and fix my credit … I am going to have to stop pretending that my debt isn’t there. Truthfully, I am a great pretender. Not in 2010 though. This is something that I absolutely must do this year and in order to do it, I need to be focused and clear minded and ORGANIZED.
So that is precisely what I will do … tomorrow … heh.
What is your organizational style?
Am I alone with this?
Would you rather … Run your tongue down ten feet of a New York City street or press your tongue into a strangers nostril?

A stranger’s nostril. You can guess at what has been there. NYC street. Who the fuck knows?
I like sparse, open neatness, but I am not one of those people. However, what might look like a mes, is really a bunch of stuff and I know where everything is.

I swear I just read a blog about myself..
I am super organised when it comes to work.. but here at home.. not in the slightest…
I really need to stop these tendencies because I really don’t have all that much storage space…
I am a hoarder of certain things.. recipe magazines are one of the biggest ones.. and the magazines that cost a little more cos I can’t wrap my head around throwing something out that cost me so much .. also books and DVD’s … I am at the point now that I have no more shelf space for either of these things and yet I cannot stop myself buying them.. I can’t walk into a bookstore without walking out with something and DVD sales are my single biggest weakness.. everywhere you turn in my house you will see books and books and wait, more books… but the idea of parting with any of them,even those I am not likely to re-read just breaks my heart…

Actually girl, its the job. Its so mentally taxing that when your at home its your time to unwind. And in the morning, its your time to deal with your loved ones, and then its gearing up for work. Its a never ending cycle. I used to be SOOOOOOOOOO OCD its not even funny. Perfectly clean house, perfectly organized desk at work, and used to make fun of the people who had been there a while with shit strewn out everywhere. Then, little by little, I started seeing my desk go to hell….(You’ve seen it). Then the car….THEN the house. NO MORE RIGHT ANGLES!!!! AHHHH! I hate the house mess. I CANNOT FUCKING STAND IT, but am to the point where I am so fucking mentally exhausted that I wont deal with it……then, I escape it by getting back to work, and getting lost in all the shit all over again. I guess if we didnt work where we work, I would be miserable, and would really start to give a shit, but its gone so far now, that I just look forward to getting back to work, getting lost in the day, and forgetting about everything till i see it again. Crazy how it works. I can only say it will probably get worse, but who knows. Everyone is different. Between what we do and spending time with our loved ones (which I still lack half the time), and getting a decent amount of sleep, theres not much time for anything else. What do you think of a MAID spiff? Top rep for a certain amount of time gets Molly Maid to hook them up for a certain amount of time? Hmmmmmmm…I might be onto something…..
BTW, Fuck New York, AND anyones nostrils…..wouldnt do either….Id H Bomb New york, and kick whosevers nostrils I had to in the face.
Ha! My Rules.

Sounds exactly like me.
Though, lately, I find the job so depressing that I’m not so organized there either. Still more than I am at home but I just don’t have the energy to care anymore.

I think this last question depends on whose nose it is, and what street we’re talking about because there are totally some streets in NY I’d lick lol I have walked barefoot in Times Square because my shoes were making my foot bleed… The bottoms of my feet were BLACK.
I can’t stand not being organized however my room constantly looks like it exploded… No matter how many times I fix it looks like it just went BOOM.

What is your organizational style? organized chaos is my style…it might not LOOK like it(whatever ‘it’ might be) is organized, but I know where it is
Am I alone with this? probably not
Would you rather … Run your tongue down ten feet of a New York City street or press your tongue into a strangers nostril? a strangers nostril…at least you know ONLY boogies have been there….just sayin

I used to be super organized, then when I lost my job I let it go because I was so depressed. I am slowly getting it back to where it needs to be. I grew up in a house where there was nothing but mess and chaos everywhere, so its super important to me.
And I’m gonna go with the strangers nostril. Although really I don’t know if I could do it without puking.
also a Friday eye candy suggestion…don’t know if you’ve done him yet or not (heh) Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. yummy

I do the same thing with bills that I can’t pay, I either stack them up or throw them out. Which of course is most of the bills that come in the mail. I’m ridicoulously disorganized at home. I will go on an organization spree and a week later its back to the way it was. Ugh. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when your a neat freak at the office & with school work!

I am the most unorganized person on the planet. My closet constantly looks like it threw up all over my room… my car looks like it has been hit by a hurricane. And my purse? ahhh it stresses me out to even think about it.

First time commenting on your blogs but I have read a few of them before
I can totally identify, I feel like I am the most disorganized person EVER. My whole house is a “hot mess”, 24/7. I’ve tried to get organized before and I stick with it for three or four days and then give up. I hope you have better luck than me! And if you manage, can you blog about how you did it? LOL ’cause I could use some tips.

Thanks for your comment on my family photos. I didn’t know what to post, so I looked in my albums and there you have it.
I used to be so organized….the TW came along. It took her a while, but she wore my down and there is chaos now.

I do everything (bills-wise) online. I still forget one every now and then, though…

I’m a Virgo. Even my organizational methods are organized. But I live with a pothead and Irish… and they are most emphatically NOT organized. It drives me nuts. N.U.T.S.
Socks are an exception. I leave those fuckers everywhere no matter how hard I try not to. Damn socks.
I cannot choose. Even thinking about either one makes my stomach want to revolt.

What is your organizational style?
I am way over organized. Organized to the point of obsessing about always coming up with better organization skills. And then I over organized. Here is an example… My “My Pictures” folder in my computer? Well you can imagine how many photos I have, you know me well enough. Well I have 19378149023874190238741 folders in my “My Pictures” folder. And so if I actually want to find a picture? I can never fucking find it because I don’t know which goddamn “ORGANIZED” folder I put it in! GAHH! And then I reorganize the folders all over again and before I know it I have wasted 8 hours sitting in front of my computer JUST ORGANIZING ONE FILE FOLDER!!! And because I am OCD and a complete fucking mess? I obsess about this very thing every single solitary day. Yup. Along with 12398471903275 other things that I have already organized that I need to REorganize (that I have already REorganized umpteen MILLION times) . And the weird thing is that I know I am complete whack job and need to let it go and just live a bit but I can’t! I CAAAAAAAAAAN’t!
Am I alone with this?
I too have screwed my credit because I look at a bill and think “fuck it” and toss it because I know I don’t have the money so why bother think about it. It’s a HORRIBLE habit. And our credit still suffers because of it.
