No. I prefer working with people who try to enjoy life and live it with a positive world view. These people get farther in their careers quicker, and probably live longer, too. They don’t let the bullshit drag ‘em down, and I envy that superpower.

I smile all the time because I’m happy in the position I’m at with a NICE salary and a team that likes me. I’m also crazy.

some people. and I guess I am a bit.
