Fear and Loathing in the Worplace

Anticipation is one of the truely unique aspects of human thought. Say for instance I was anticipating a very unpleasent day of work tomorrow with my boss returning from his own unpleasentness to find what transpired today. By anticipating this unpleasentness, am I creating a self fulfilling prophecy? or envisioning it worse than it really will be? People generally seem to anticipate the worst, perhaps becasue of all the times you remember the worst happening. Or perhaps by assuming the worst, we set ourselves up to be pleasently surprised when things turn out better than we were thinking. But knowing how things work in my work environment, I think that my anticipation of unpleasentness is realistic and well founded. Only time will tell.
