Punctilious

punctilious

  \puhnk-TIL-ee-uhs\ , adjective;

1.

Strictly attentive to the details of form in action or conduct; 

precise; exact in the smallest particulars.

I had a desire to write but no topic that I desired to write about. 

So I decided to have a look at the Thesaurus word of the day and write on whatever word 

it decided to dispense.

Punctilious, it is a word that stumbles from your mouth and makes you question if you stated it properly, which in and of it self is the definition of the word. If you question and examine

 every detail of the word as it is spoken you are being punctilious. 

Many times people glance over the small details about a situation and only focus on the 

blatantly obvious, thus missing 90% of the happenings of any given situation.

I am OCD in but only about certain things, I notice small details, things that most people have 

no care to even recognize. However this attribute gives me an edge in many facets of life,

including my profession.

I am a low end software developer and tester as well as a dozen other things.

Since my OCD is of the punctilious nature I tend to notice the small differences in a piece of 

software I am working on, or an issue I am debugging.

The biggest issue with having a punctilious nature is not being able to turn it off. Sometimes your

mind gets so full of processes or the tiny differences between systems that you can't see the 

obvious issue, like a cable not being plugged in or a setting that you forgot to reset. 

Sometimes in life we do this too. Get so busy removing screws and bolts so the examination may

begin that we never noticing the lack of batteries that are required to run the equipment.

So remember to take a break every once and a while, exchange the oxygen and the scenery.

Clear you mind sometimes the answer will be staring you in the face when you open your eyes.

That is all for today. Goodnight.
