With great responsibility comes...more responsibility?

So I am one of those people who never really aims to overachieve, but ends up doing it anyway and feeling like a dork for doing it.  It always has felt natural for me to take on so much responsibility that I have no time to think about anything else.  Which is good most of the time because then I don't just sit there listening to the craziness that my brain comes up with, and let me tell you it's not sunshine and rainbows.  I worry about everything…constantly.  And not just about things that could happen, but what has happened already and everything that I might have done differently to have things turn out another way.  Also I am paranoid about most everything…seriously.  Most of the "put tin-foil on your head" kinds of things I am able to rationalize out of my head, but there’s been some very strange things that my brain has convinced itself of over the years.  But…anywho…Working as the lab assistant and making sure that other people got their work done was pretty fun.  I probably came off as some sort of crazy person to everyone else, but at least I got a lot done.  Organizational is just about my middle name.
