Well as most people who know me know....I am a pessimist. I can't help it, it's in my nature. However, when good things happen, then for me it's a bonus!
(logic in there somewhere I know)

I have to say my work life is different though. I guess I come from the school of hard knocks and just take or dodge what life has to throw at me. I'm generally an upbeat person so life is more or less good.
I feel our lives are what we make it so when people complain about the little things it makes me mad - if they have their health and strength they should be grateful. Listening recently to one colleague moan about her house sale falling through, you would have thought someone died - it was very hard to listen to.
I guess I just have another approach when it comes to topics of discussion and like to share my experiences.
