Am I complicated? I think I have a way of complicating things. In general, I prefer to have things done with completeness, because a little more upfront saves you a whole lot of headache down the road - maybe it was just the way I was brought up. In application, I have learned that it's not wise to expect people you don't really know to get things done properly. In that, you should read that you shouldn't trust people to get things right because the amount of incompetence in this world is stellar. So my concept is to provide as much information as possible to reduce that margin for error. For something that requires a list, I'll provide a spreadsheet - so you can easily see where all the numbers come from. Don't get me wrong, I'll organize it clearly so that the flow is evident. Organization is a self-claimed strength. But I think it complicates things dramatically for others, even if it is clear to me. Mainly because their minds aren't ready to receive data this way.

However, I like having complicated ways of looking at something. In my mind, it makes the overall result much better than if done "the usual way". If I were responsible for following specifications, there'd be trouble because I'd be guilty of constant scope creep. I'm nit-picky and I love it. I can complicate matters to make it better, and I'm proud of it. I'll do the same job as the next guy, but add a little twist that people will say "wow, nice job." I think it only takes a little.
