An misfortunate change in perspective

I like to think of myself as being above the more base of human reactions. In the past I was wont to sit back and bite my thumb at the greedy of the world. Today it occured to me that my perspective has shifted slightly now that I am on commission at work. The first school of the year showed up today and I realized that the vast majority of the work will likely be done by yours truly. Before now, that just meant that there was a pile on the floor to step over and attempt to avoid. Now, it means money. My money. I like the thought of money, but I think I liked myself better when I could still dislocate my shoulder patting myself on the back.
