Is My Glass Half Empty or Half Full?

Work has been extremely stressful, and I'm snapping at Vice Presidents left and right (not recommended if you want to get ahead). On top of all of that, my house sitter has reported the following in the last week:
  • My pond is losing water and the fish died
  • My sprinkler system is leaking and flooding the side yard
  • The air conditioner stopped working on the hottest day of the year (105 degrees)

So my pond lady will replace the fish and clean the pond. The fish were just cheap old goldfish, and they breed like crazy anyway.

The sprinkler guy came today and fixed the leak (for free I think), and my retired air conditioning guy came tonight after his regular job to fix the air conditioning. Instead of having to replace the compressor, he replaced a fuel capacitor (like I even know what that is). My good friend just had to replace her air conditioning to the tune of $10,000. My total bill? $172.00.

So at least for today, my glass is half full. I hope it doesn't have a leak in it too.
