Resistant to change

I'm told at work sometimes that I'm resistant to change.  I feel strongly that I'm not resistant; I just want to have a good reason/explanation for why I should be making that change.  Change for change sake isn't useful for anything.

Then I read this for my Training & Development class this semester:

How can a girl not love...

Lily Allen.  Seriously!??!

Interesting

I'm reading Quiet, by Susan Cain about Introverts in an extroverted society, and found this interesting passage:

"Open plan offices have been found to reduce productivity and impair memory. They're associated with high staff turnover. They make people sick, hostile, unmotivated and insecure."

I may have discovered part of why I'm not so fond of myself currently.  The office has made me this way.

Fail

I tried to do a good thing, a helpful thing.  And it went wrong. 

When I tried to make it better, it got worse.

And isn't that just the way my life seems to work.
