Is it normal that i am obsessed with graphs?
I don't know if this is a 'habit', but I am obsessed with graphs! Specifically line graphs. I create graphs for everything! Since I was fairly young I have created and maintained a graph where i 'pretend' to be a corporation (named after me), which lists my net income, operating income, and total assets. I also list 'employees' by pretending I'm the boss of where I work and count everyone except for me.
Whenever I'm asked to create a graph at work I get really excited. I just love the smooth lines and curves of a graph. I also try to predict what my ongoing graphs will look like in say, 5 years time, by creating another graph that estimates what my current graph will be.
Also, I don't use the easy technique of creating a graph by typing in a few numbers in Excel, I proudly create them all by hand, with a image manipulation program, which takes a lot longer to do.
Although it takes me many hours to make my personal graphs, I don't think it's necessarily a bad habit. I have, for instance, been able to lose weight just by thinking "that would look good on my graph if I lost weight" (I maintain a seperate, inverted graph for my weight, though I was never 'fat'). I just wanted to know if anyone else has this 'habit' (though maybe not so extreme) and what you all think of this.
