Why am I trying so hard to get published? Because I want to quit my day job.
I’m tired of being frustrated everyday, from the moment I walk into the office to the moment I rush out its door at the end of the day.
I keep telling people that Frustration = Unfulfilled Expectations.
I keep telling people that the only way to reduce one’s frustration is to either work toward fulfilling one’s expectations or reduce the expectations to a level that can be fulfilled.
I test this theory over and over again — more than I can count — and everywhere I go.
And I can tell you that the ONE place this NEVER works for me is at work!
Why doesn’t this work for me at work?
Ironically, it’s my supervisor who unravels this mystery.
She says it’s because I am a logical person in a place where logic is banned and that I’ve never learned how not to care about things.
She says it’s because I am a logical person in a place where logic is banned and that I’ve never learned how not to care about things.
The only way I can reduce my frustration at work is to stop thinking and stop caring… and I can’t do either.
So, I am predestined to be frustrated every moment of every day at work.
That’s why I’m trying so hard to get published — so I can quit my day job.
