Today I had my peepers checked out and the doctor said he my retinas an A+ because they looked so darn good. And I thought, of course they got an A+, would I settle for anything less?! I am, at my core, an overachiever and self proclaimed know-it-all. I’ve been know to follow up with proof when someone thinks I don’t know what I’m talking about. God, I love my Blackberry. I always want people to think I’m smart, witty, hard working and over all awesome because I can control those things.
Maybe it’s a deep seated need to be able to control the things in my life that can be controlled; maybe it’s an even deeper need to have my accomplishments outshine my body’s limitations. My grades in school, my efforts put in at the office, my disposition - there is so much in my life that I don’t have a say in, so if I can then excel at things I can control then I am a super happy person.
That being said you might be able to understand my frustration when I’m placed in a group in my virtual leadership class that is filled with slackers. I want to get the assignment done now so I can play this weekend, my classmates don’t want to even look at it until Saturday. All I can say is their lucky this is a virtual team because if they were sitting next to me I’d be choking them right about now.
