What does it take to acknowledge a good thing?

Ordinarily, it would have been deemed a very good thing.
Surely, something that you spend two years trying to achieve (longer for some) would be a welcome reward once it is finally achieved.
I guess, however, that it really depends on what your general outlook is like - whether you're a positive person, or just relentlessly angry. Also, it depends on whether or not you understand the hows and whys.
I admit, I am an angry person, but I can identify something good when it happens. I am especially delighted when it is something that I have been working towards.
The evil manager man where I work has been shifted another department. He is, therefore, no longer a concern for the staff who have strived to be rid of him. Are they happy, though?
No.
Why? Because evil manager man was given a minor reward for being deprived of his status.
That's just the way this institution works.
Somethings in life are unfair, yes, but you can't let the negatives outweigh the positives when it was the positives you wanted the most.

Are you serial?

My car was broken into the other night. The bastard smash a quarter panel window to get in. This was two nights ago.
Yesterday, I rang around for quotes to get it repaired. The company that my insurance company recommended wanted the VIN from my car before I could get a quote. I called them back with the VIN. Still no quote.
Another company called me back with a quote.
Another company gave me the quote in one call.
I called them back to book them.
Today, the bigger company called me back (call number 3) with a quote that was $50 more than the company that gave me a quote straight up.

Drainers

The psychology of the work place. I had a revelation about 3 hours ago about what makes a workplace hum.
Can't quite remember it now. Something like this:
No matter what changes you try to make to a workplace, the people will still be the same. Something they believe is a common threat to their wellbeing may be removed and generate an improved morale. But this is a false effect and will soon wear off.

Is what I'm fighting for what I'm fighting with?

Is what I'm fighting for what I'm fighting with?

To a degree, it has been instilled in me to be a person of status: a doctor or a lawyer. My mum's preference was for a doctor, because then I would be able to look after her in her old age.

However, I seem to repeatedly avoid opportunities, dodge chances that may take me beyond where I am at. I have never taken the one big chance that would either make or break.

Why, though?

Am I afraid of success? Is there something about having responsibility that scares me?

Or am I afraid of failure? If I don't try to succeed, then I can't possibly fail.

Yet, I want to be a person of success.

Is what I'm fighting for what I'm fighting with?

I am tired.

I am thoroughly tired with my inability to stick at a task.
These last few weeks I have been far too easily distracted. My mind has not been on my work. I haven't faced the consequences, yet, but I am sick of it.
It's time to just do what I'm here to be doing.
Maybe, there's too many distractions around here and not all of them are in my head.
