Here's something that could easily drive me insane: Call numbers. It's not because the system is hard -- neither the Dewey Decimal nor the Congressional Library system is difficult. It's quite simple, being as how we all know the order of letters and numbers already. No, my problem is that most call numbers start with two letters on the first line, and part of my job is to take large stacks of returned books and order them based on the first two call numbers. This in itself is also not enough to drive me insane. What is enough to drive me insane is that I have mental associations with many, many, many, (apparently) pairs of letters. So I don't think "HQ," I think "headquarters." Hilda Dolittle. Prime Minister. Blow Job. Emergency Room. Bowel Movement. Post Script. Butt Hole. Public Relations. Kung Fu. Physical Education.


And so I think that perhaps hours of thinking these phrases over and over again might push me over the edge.
