I have such BIG problems, don't I?
Every so often, I forget to count my many blessings. Maybe it comes from being a "glass half-empty" kinda person. There's a joke that kinda applies here:
Q: What's the difference between an optimist, a pessimist, and a process engineer?
A: To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the process engineer, you've got twice as much glass as you need.
I think I'm like a super-pessimist. Not only is the glass half-empty, it's actually 3/4 empty for a glass twice its size. Which is my own awkward way of saying I dream big, but can't quite bring myself to believe that I'll ever achieve the dream (whatever it is). So, when I do get close, the fall seems that much farther.
But I have good friends. Friends who call me on my bullshit and welcome me to the human race on a regular basis. As I said in the comments, I know there are people who'd gladly trade just one of their problems for the entirety of mine, and still think they were ahead of the game, and if my bitching and moaning offended anyone, please accept my apologies.
More entertaining stuff later, I promise.
