Hatin' on the Disabled

I've already talked about hatin' on the drug companies, now it is time to bemoan those who be hatin' on the disabled.

And by disabled, I mean me.

Okay, so I'm not technically disabled in the park-in-the-handicapped-spot (legally, at least) kind of disabled, but I do have this recurrent OCD kind of behavior that only pops up every once in a while...

like when I walk down the halls at my hospital.

Please excuse the blurry picture, but at least you can see the mental anguish and torture that I go through every day as I walk to the cafeteria for lunch and find myself zigzagging aimlessly down the halls following the randomness of lackopattern that some id on the design team came up with.  I can deal with having to zigzag down the hall as I follow the green line to safety, but exactly what do they expect me to do when I come to the crossroads and have to choose one of two branching paths?  I suppose that I could take one branch and then follow it back around, but I am afraid that I would get stuck in a lunch-break-eating loop of incessant green-line-following.  And we all know the famous adage: "Where loopy green-line-following occurs, mumbling-to-oneself cannot be far off."



That is why I rarely venture outside the safety of my department.

Okay, for somebody who has thing about everything being symetrical and having a pattern, that floor is extremely annoying. The picture almost made me start twitching.
