To this day, I quite literally cannot talk about anything fun that happens in my office -- silly water cooler stories, lunch table anecdotes, nothing -- in mixed company without getting some form of blowback. Period.

I admit, I've been the person to snark on the people who enjoy their work, but that's because I just hate working so much. Every minute is torture. So when someone doesn't share my torture, I feel like *I* am getting the shaft. Does this make any sense? Really, it's because I am jealous, and you (generic you, not you you) should take pity on me, not tear me down even more. Someday I hope to be in your shoes. :)
