Do I demand a lot?

Hmmm... it's one of those days when I feel the whole world owes me something. Okay, I think I kind of over-stated that. Scale that down to the people around me, that should be a reasonable emotion to have.

Work's getting demanding, somehow. It's funny 'cause in fact I should be more relaxed but I'm not. Tests are all done, although results are still in a mess, which is the problem. Analysis, reports, presentations and solutions to problems that may not even exist. Is working really like that or is it just unique to my current company or department? I like keeping things simple. I shun complexity, although I'm a guilty creator sometimes. Somehow people blur the line between thinking out of the box and complexity, which I don't agree with. Great examples are the kids on the Creative show. They've really innovative ideas, yet they are so simple it never would have occurred to us. And that's been what I've been advocating. If the problem doesn't exist, don't dwell on it. If it does, think simple. I don't think I've really adequately substantiated my point, but I'm no world-class debater, so I'll leave the decision to you.

False hope is another letdown. There I was given the impression that I'll be having an enjoyable evening, getting all geared. Here I am now getting all disappointed with an empty evening. It's the feeling of abandonment where you get put off by the i-didn't-promise reason. It's a safety net for many, but I hate it. One, you don't get assurance of a plan. Two, the chances of being put off is way higher. That's why sometimes I rather it be a NO than a MAYBE. Well, at least the mind's not left to wonder and hope about something that's not gonna happen.

Which leads me to my thought for the day. Do I demand a lot? I don't know. I guess I need to moderate myself. I sense an imbalance in the demand I give to the demand I'm willing to take. Flaw noted. Moderation in process. Process speed and required time unknown. System hiberation required for optimum process results. Beep.
