Quiz:  What Strength Should Your Rose Colored Glasses Be?

Any regular reader of this drivel knows that it would be impossible for me to start the day without a few things.  The top three are:

A Venti Starbucks cup in my hand

My MAC lipstick

The very funky rose colored glasses (mine happen to be invisible) I don.

The prescription for my rose-colored glasses fluctuates.  Here’s a quiz for you to take to determine what strength your prescription should be:

1. If you were to present an idea and the (obviously narrow-minded) recipient were to say: “I don’t think that’s going to work out” you:

• a) allow your shoulders to droop, go home, and sog your linens with your tears
• b) feel stunned that someone wouldn’t think your idea is as fab as you know it is… then resent them forever
• c) smile brightly, be appreciative of the feedback, and then continue along your little yellow (or pink) brick road to find someone else who will recognize your brilliance

2. If you were in a Starbucks line-up and the guy in front of you orders twenty five drinks off a list (his office mates are thirsty) and then comes up two bucks short, you:

• a) turn your attention to the attractive new black and silver mugs that you probably should buy as soon as it’s your turn to get to the till
• b) silently laugh your head off - the dork got what was coming to him
• c) tap him on the shoulder, give him the two bucks, and know that next time you’re in a similar predicament, the person behind you will totally do the same

3. When you see that your fairly new laptop has the signs of worn keys, you

• a) put it on your list of “things to worry about” and set your alarm for two a.m. in case you actually sleep through your fretting-induced-insomnia time
• b) start writing the computer company nasty letters about the inferior quality of their keypad - and demand free products for life
• c) celebrate because if you’ve already worn off the tops of the keypad it must mean that you’ve been busy composing excellent things…

A’s and B’s?  Get a MASSIVE prescription - get the glass ground down so they don’t look like rose-colored scuba goggles.  While you’re waiting in line for the extra rosy tinting, go grab a copy of “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff” - everybody should have a copy somewhere…

C’s?  You’ve already got a fabulous outlook.  But don’t throw out your glasses.  They’re good for emergency situations.  Also, I happen to think they’re very cool (even the invisible ones).
