1

I have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning.

2

I expect the worst so I won't be disappointed.

3

My disposition is better described as "sour " than "happy."

4

I feel nervous when I hear good news, anticipating bad news will surely follow.

5

I find myself dwelling on my mistakes, blunders, mishaps and boo-boos.

6

I'm a coward about making significant changes in my life.

7

I feel that most things in my life are out of my control.

8

The idea of tackling my "to do" list leaves me feeling drained.

9

I find fault with the little things I do.

10

I feel that work is just something you have to do so you can support the rest of your life.

11

I'd rather be bored in a situation that I know everything about then take a chance on doing something new where there are a lot of unknowns.

12

I get furious when someone at work gets promoted who doesn't deserve it.

13

I put myself down with regard to what I look like and what I say.

14

I have difficulty celebrating my accomplishments.

15

When I look in the mirror I focus on all of my faults.

16

In talking to myself, I dish out considerably more criticism than encouragement.

17

I watch the clock, counting the minutes until quitting time.

18

I find myself complaining to co-workers about lots of stuff.

19

I procrastinate, putting things off until the last minute.

20

I do things just to get them done -- the quality of the work doesn't matter to me.

21

I find my answer to a lot of questions is "I don't care".

22

I have a hard time motivating myself to stick with a project from start to finish.

23

I'm quick to come up with reasons why I can't get the things I want in my life (for example, a new car, a new home, a new relationship, etc.).

24

I spend more time complaining about things that are wrong in my life than working on finding solutions to the problems.

25

I think life would be much better at work if things wouldn't change so much.
