One of my favorite phrases when faced with a skeptical colleague who swears something isn't going to work is, "you know me - ever the optimist!"

I feel I truly am an otpimist at work.  To me the glass is always half full instead of half empty.  I always have this belief that this time everyone is going to pull their weight, do their job, things are going to work just the way we want them to, etc. etc.  You would think that 26 years in this place would have knocked that out of me because people rarely pull their weight, do their job, and things rarely work just the way we want them to.  But I keep on believing that THIS time it will happen.

However, in my personal life, I am quite a worrier, which I'm not sure goes hand in hand with being a true optimist.
