It makes you an excellent worker and a great emplyoee, but the question is will it ever make YOU happy? I'm the same to be honest, though maybe not to quite so much of an extent.

I just hope it isn't annoying to poepe who love you if you can't accept anything you do.....hell, I guess if it becomes too bad you could just drown yourself in a lake.
