Giving myself a gold sticker

I'm disappointed, because I have no gold sticker.

All that working toward a goal was happiness, but the completion of that goal is just met with hollow sadness. I have no audience. I am alone.

More so, because before I had a goal and work to do. And now I am just alone, with no celebration or cake (figuratively speaking). I could give it to myself, but that's not what I really want. It would just be a waste of (figurative) money.

Working for myself is having a great, and an awful employer!

You know what...

Mr. Employer, sir, I'm taking a vacation!

Employee: Boss, can I take a few days off?

Boss: (I'm not here right now, on vacation)

Employee: Well, seeing as the boss is gone... he won't object!
