Am I an optimist or pessimist? Oh jeez I don't really know. I guess its based on what it is I'm thinking about. If the question is something like "Will my sports team win?" then I probably have a more pessimistic view because I'm a Reds, Bengals, and Buckeyes fan, and as you know, those teams tend to disappoint. If its something like "Will we have a snowday monday?" I'm definitely more of an optimist because yes, yes we will be having a snowday monday.
