When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.

A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results.
There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a pat on the back. If you can't do that, you can't be objective about your work. You can't be conceited or cocky either, but you can't be too modest either.
If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.
