Interesting.

Agreed all-around. Someone once described me as "a driven man", and today I am still grateful for that particular attribute or whatever it is and even if/when someone might attribute it to so-called "mental illness". One general manager used to negatively call me a "Prima Donna" in spite of the fact (or possibly because) I had been hired to be "creative" beyond his own abilities...and then at the last job I ever had prior to disability retirement, I always had "free reign" as long as a given budget could be justified in the immediate or at least speculatively. I do not know whether that employer ever realized he was at times trusting my ability to come through while I was only hoping to be able to do so there in his shop that I occasionally viewed as a playground, but maybe there is where my being driven as I am truly made a/the different.
