perspective

I came across this photo on Ye Olde Interweb and realized what a perfect point of comparison it is to my life as a FT worker. I was telling/bemoaning to OTPET recently about how tired I am at the end of the working day/week but that I'd come to the conclusion that I'm simply in an adjustment period having not worked full time for about six years - imagine if you did no exercise for six years and then suddenly started working out 40 hours a week! You'd be bushed, too. And while to some it may appear that I've lost my head, like this gymnast it only appears that way from a particular perspective. In fact, both of us are performing at our highest level with real capability and total success.
