I just told my boss "I am not ambitious about my professional life."
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....
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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?

Sephora and Best Buy have both made me cry in the past.

Ahrg. I was supposed to pick up another special food for Dev after worrk. I forgot until 2 pm today. The vet's closes at 2. I've pretty much wasted most of today. Bleah.

Jesus. Someone died during the Olympics marathon trials this morning. I hate those stories -- a girl I knew in college had a boyfriend who dropped dead while running.

I never want to be top dog with regard to responsibility and expectations.
That's why I think that being my own boss would be great. My problem is that I'm too shy and awkward for the business part. I'd need a partner to gladhand and schmooze.
OMG, my friend and I were talking about my new job this morning, and I said, "Well it's not my own pie shop or movie theatre..." And she said, "A movie theatre that serves pie!!!!" Then I came back with, "A theme pie for the movie of the week!" Now if I just had the money and wherewithal to make it so.
