My boss and I are constantly doing that! What would we do if this elevator started to plummet.
She and I alone from my office will survive the zombie apocalypse.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for elimination of debt.
An astrologer once looked at my chart and declared that I was blindly optimistic in the face of certain disaster. Called that one right.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks, Connie! The Crew Leader that called me today was a TOTAL DB. He has been reported for his DB-ery.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Having read msbelle's posts on the topic, I realize that I don't have a good understanding of what the term "positive thinking" really means. I've always thought of it in that kind of oversimplified "smile is the best medicine" school of thought.
I think of myself as kind of a realist-optimist, if that makes sense.
I'm not exactly a negative thinker but I'm a worrier (who tries to be positive).
I see worriers and negative thinking differently. Worrying is more about trying to control for factors outside one's control.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
About predicting the future, I don't know that I'm an optimist or a pessimist, but I am ALL ABOUT seeing the bright side and enjoying what I can.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yes I am a member of Marble Collegiate and attend every sunday that mac will cooperate. The stream the sermons live every sunday so I may keep "attending" even after the move although I'll also go with my parents to their church.
I tend to think people are crappy, but I also tend to believe that things will work themselves out and that lots of people close themselves off from seeing solutions and opportunities, because they are stuck in a rut of complaining and blaming and self sabotage.

At the very least, Aims, the Crew Leader is going to have to fill out a bunch of forms in triplicate if you made a complaint. It may be petty revenge, but it is revenge all the same....

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I grew up next to Lake Huron, and I adore it. I would be floating in 10+ feet deep water and see clearly down to the sandy lake floor. Once I moved to NC all the nearby lakes were man-made and had slimy red-mud bottoms. There are many things I like in NC, but the lakes are not among them.
From July 9-17 I'll be in Lexington, MI, in a cottage right on the Lake Huron shore (or so it's been advertised). I'm so looking forward to that. While I'll be spending a fair bit of time with family, if there are any Michiganistas who'd like to go out for dinner and/or a drink, please let me know. I'll have a rental car, so I should be pretty mobile.
