Why me?

  I asked myself that question this morning when I got to work and found out I had to do something. Something annoying and not particularly difficult but it had to be done. The answer was obvious though, it is because I'm the only one capable of doing it and the only person actually in the office at that time of the morning.

  Generally this question, when it is really asked, the answer is already know. You are just complaining about the fact that you are doing this thing. It is normally because, like my example, you are the only one that can. Sometimes it is because you are the only one willing to do it. Sometimes it is because you are the one forced by someone who has more control over the situation to do something. There are a variety of reasons but it all boils down to frustration at having to do something you really don't want to.

  The reason you don't want to do it may vary. It may be incredibly boring. It may make you sad and unhappy having to do it. It may be physically unpleasant doing it. The list could go on.

  Most of these situations there is no choice but you still say "Why me?". I think the only thing you can do is get them over and done with and get back to something that is better. There's no point in dwelling on the crap, get back to the good things and enjoy them. That point of view might be because I'm usually slightly more optimistic than most people (even if I do downplay expectations sometimes) so I would rather see what I like about something than the things I don't like about it.

  I dunno where this is going, just a thought train that came in to my head after this morning. I'll leave it here I think and let whomever reads this use it as a way to think if they want. Then again you could ignore this completely because it is not something you enjoy and go to something you do actually enjoy.
