^ which would be disappointment. yes. 😉

I suppose... "disappointment" just has a negative connotation and that's not the case for me usually.

EDIT: Where's the poll?! 🙂

some say pessemist, but I prefer the term "realist".

if something is bad, we accept it and move on. I don't go out of my way to find some positive aspect, because it bad parts are what needs to be addressed the most.

but if something is good, I'm not going to go out of my way to find a dark cloud on the horizion.

I guess I would be a realist too... if something's bad I either try and fix it or if it can't be fixed, forget about it. Maybe an optimistic-realist is most accurate. 😛 Haha

Not to be a jerk, but wouldn't that make the glass 100% bigger than it needs to be?

A good engineer leaves a safety margin 😉

Expect the worst...hope for the best.

Exactly. Who likes carrying around a glass that is overflowing and spilling everywhere? What if your needs change slightly next time? Etc.

I take the middle of the road. I am a realist.

I look on the bright side of the half-empty glass.
