I'm 100% fine with not being elite in anything. Much less anything athletic. I look at my CEO who is often in three different states over the course of a week, and I just know that I could never handle that kind of life, and I'm totally fine with that!
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I get the differnece between doing the hard thing because you want to and doing the hard thing because you have to. It's still doing the hard thing, either way.
Yeah, absolutely.

So, I'm listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and it turns out that Valerie Plame had her 25th reunion since the whole CIA thing came out. And it was as much fun as you'd imagine, apparently.

You see lack of dedication and shortcomings, I see wacko lady driven beyond good sense.
I am very much Sue.

And I am also very much Jesse. I just told my boss "I am not ambitious about my professional life." it was right after I said "the things that are making me upset are not fixable and what I need is to not work here anymore." oops.
We are having lazy Saturday, but mac has hit the end of his tv shows and wants to be entertained. too bad for him.

I almost told my boss I'm not ambitious about my current job just last week! Although I am slightly ambitious about my next job....

for me it clearly goes beyond one job to the next. I never want to be top dog with regard to responsibility and expectations.

That's fair. I mean, shit, there have to be a zillion people who aren't top dog, so why not you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love krav that much. I just don't have those depths to pull from.
Professionally I just want to do the things I like and get paid more than cozily for it. My ranking relative to other people only matters in passing, in shallow moments.
OK, acupuncture done. I just gotta try to not cry again before therapy. Best Buy and Sephora-what are the odds?
