Competitions I just can't win

I used to be in with a good chance.

Too tired
Overwhelmed
Too much to do
Unappreciated
Downtrodden
Not good enough

I used to think I could win one of these awards with just another hour's work, a day extra at the office, one more midnight baking extravaganza, a business proposal written in my own blood, sweat and tears- but the competition has just got too tough.

I'm not entering anymore.

Congratulations to the winners.
