What's next?

Drink some wine

You decide, after such a hearty meal, you might enjoy some wine to help digest. You've only recently considered wine at all, but you remember it brought up that way anyway. Filling a glass, you sip at it, and watch TV, mostly letting it just broadcast miscellanea. Fifteen minutes later, you recall how you are completely on top of everything at work, fixed an emergency and were literally cheered for -- even if it was mostly a joke. And now you've had steak and wine, and enjoyed it all. Maybe you were more... successful than you thought? Or maybe you were BETTER at being successful? In which case, can you keep going higher up the corporate ladder? You've only felt jaded, lately, but who's to say that's all that's left? Maybe it's just because you haven't hit your potential, yet?
How little would it take, really? Could it be just a little more effort, somewhere? ...Huh. You hadn't considered this before. Embracing the fancy stuff. Owning it. Maybe you'll take to it like a duck to water. Maybe it's where you belong? A single glass of wine, and you were having an epiphany. Maybe you should stop here, before you hit pure megalomania...
