How many of you eat food? Yeah really? Me too? Now how many of you are sick of it? Oh it’s just me? Fine - I mean I'm not saying I want to quit eating (there's a very serious condition and that is NOT what I'm talking about) What I'm saying is that I'm basically BORED with food? Think about it...what do you eat? Hmm let's see I'm going to guess, chicken, beef, pork...yeah they are good, GREAT even (especially BACON!!! OMG) but how many times do you eat the same thing say every 3 days? Not me...I'm a VEGETARIAN!...I don't eat MEAT" Ok cool but still you ONLY eat vegetables! If you're normal (hmm, ok average? Is average better than normal? I think so)...so if you're AVERAGE you probably don't like every vegetable available to you.

Actually, does it ever or does it just carry over into other parts of our lives? Okay, let's look at a few examples: When you through your hat in the ring for a new job or promotion, you're probably pitted against a bunch of other applicants. If you're not selected, do those thoughts run through your mind? WHY NOT ME? WHY DIDN'T THEY PICK ME?

Yeah those people who usually get paid the big bucks, have the corner office with the great view and the EA that is harder to get past than a secret service agent? LOL Now some of us have been lucky enough to have really great bosses (I'm not gonna name names - ok initials ALW) but there's probably also been at least one, if you're old enough, that hasn't been so great (am NOT even posting initials...) Just in case you've been blessed and fortunate enough to escape the trials of a not-so-great (AKA HORRIBLE) boss, here are:  10 Signs of a Terrible Boss/Supervisor   Believes the entire world is theirs and you poor schmucks are lucky to be in their presence.  Reminds you daily that you can be replaced  Thrives on setting you up for failure (i.e. giving you tasks that you aren't prepared for)  Pits you and another employee against
