Mugs at Work

How often do you wash your mug at work?

And when you wash it, do you use soap?

I've been making observations, and I am disturbed. Most people that I know just throw away their leftover coffee or tea from the previous day, maybe rinse the mug with water and refills. So if their mugs are white or light colored, you can see the stains that have settled in. Gross.

I on the other hand, wash my mug everyday. I try to do it before I leave work. If I leave in a hurry, I wash it the next morning. My mug is white and pristine. No rings of stains here. Not only do I wash it everyday, I wash it with dish soap. And I don't like to use the communal sponge so I use a tiny piece of paper towel instead. (I know, I'm killing trees, but it's for a good cause. My mental sanity.)

So am I like OCD crazy? Or are people I am surrounded by dirty people?

PS - Do you wash your underwear before you wear it for the first time? I thought everyone did, but apparently some people do not...

Crazy?

I just realized this morning that I talk to animals a lot. Some people talk to themselves, some to computers, and I think most "normal" people just talk to other humans. I talk to animals. I guess I talk to myself about animals too... Like "aww, birdie!"

I have not talked to a single human being in person yet this morning, but have spoken to 2 animals already. The little chipmunk that decided to run across the alley in front of my car got "go, go, go, go.... no, stay, don't come back!". The bunny right outside my work and I had a full blown conversation (sort of).

Bunny: "..."
Me: "Aww, bunny."
Bunny: "..." (very tense looking)
Me: "Don't be scared. It's ok. I won't hurt you."
Bunny: "..." (fixing to run like hell)
Me: "You don't have to move. I won't catch you."
Bunny: "..." (hopping away)
Me: "You don't have to go so far..."

So who thinks this is a crazy person's behavior?
