Why do people let me get away with doing things half-assed? Why? Really. This is really starting to bother me.

I met with one of my bosses, Zai, on Wednesday. For the past month or so, I had done pretty much jack shit for him. And what I did do, I spent probably a total of 5 hours on over the past month when I should've spent something like 80 hours on it. So, what does he say at this meeting? "This is fantastic! I want to write an article with you." I was like, say what?

Then I emailed my other boss, Nancy, yesterday. I sent her my work, which was something I threw together in 5 minutes and put absolutely no effort into it. She emails me back this morning and says, "This is great! You can take some time off to work on your Comp." Again, I was like, say what?

I think this bothers me because I'm constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I've been waiting since high school. Maybe it's glued to the fucking ceiling. I never put any effort into anything and I get rewarded for it. I know I shouldn't complain, but it just really bothers me. I can't possibly be that smart. Maybe it's that they set the bar so low, so I can just coast. I don't know.

But I wonder, what if I actually put effort into something for once? What then? Would the world end?

Also, is that a woman singing on this song or is that really Raine Maida's voice?
