First image result.
I'm going to assume Dora's inspection is primarily to ensure no pebbles were mixed in with the beans by mistake.

Not fun in the slightest.

I wouldn't say that Hanners takes everything literally, it's just that one of the manifestations of her OCD is compulsive counting. She had previously been using her compulsion in order to make money, but outside of drumming, I don't know how much counting she is doing. If she has been avoiding it, this may prove to be a bit of a difficulty.

I was referring more to people I had worked with before than Hanners taking things literally.
Quick story - About three years, I was supervisor in a Chamber of Commerce/Tourism office, where I was in charge of training staff and supervising students from the Erasmus program. One student we had, had quite a difficult time comprehending instructions and it wasn't to do with the fact that he was Italian and English wasn't his first language, another Italian student we had had flawless English and she was able to translate. So it was about this time of the year when we were preparing for the Tourism season to start up again and we were doing a stock take and preparing new stock. I had to go to a meeting with my boss, and there was only an hour or so left in the day, so I told the student that if he could make note and count up the cards in stock and on the shelves and then put out some shirts and he could head off.
Now, by cards, I meant we had about 30 different types in stock, about a dozen on the shelves with the rest being new ones that had been sent to us by Bord Failte. All I wanted was for him to note how many were out and what could be brought out.
That should have taken him less than 10 minutes.
I came back from the meeting and found him counting the cards...individually. He was at around the 900 mark.
I just told him to go home and come in late the next day.
That isn't even the worst story I have from that job.
celticgeek:
Hannelore may have to consult Emily, just get a feel for the inexactness of the science of coffee bean roasting.

Soothing colors are indeed helpful in certain stressful times.
