Arghh!!! \*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*

Ok, now that I relieved the tension, time to talk.

I have had to slice up some photoshop PSD’s and Illustrator AI’s lately, and I have not opened one file without seeing over 50 layers named “Layer 1” “Layer 1 copy” “Layer 2” etc… WTF is up with this? I thought I was doing work for professionals, real legit businesses paying me to slice up website layouts, and I open the documents to find this pile of unorganized crap laying around.

Has anyone had this problem? Or am I a real prick by spending time to organize all of my layers and naming them appropriately? Please, I must know if I’m crazy or have an OCD issue. Thanks! :sigh:
