The Kobayashi Maru. In Star Trek, command school cadets are given a test--a battle simulation--they cannot winner no matter what. The point of the exercise is that it is a test of character to determine how you deal with a no win scenario.

Rocky.
I'm just not sure if I'll end up like Rocky or Apollo Creed.

It's something like Groundhog Day. I get a few little victories every now and again, but mostly it all feels like doing the same thing over and over again.

My career feels partly like the anticipation and promise of Mitch Williams taking the mound in Game 6 of the '93 Series, and partly like Joe Carter later saying to the press, "He threw a fastball? Really? I thought it was a slider."

Yep. By all rights I should have been a total washout.

My career is like a box of chocolates. A giant box of bargain-basement, drugstore chocolates. I really ought to stop eating them, because they taste like plastic and just make me feel sick. But instead of going to the deli across the street for a nutritious sandwich, I just keep eating the damn things and vaguely wondering why I have a stomach ache.

Running a marathon. It takes a lot of training and preparation. Then you run and run and run and everything hurts (and in my case it makes my stomach very, very upset). You feel like it justifies you eating a lot of pasta, but that just counteracts all the calories you've burned so you get chubbier.
And at the end, even if you finish? You kind of wonder why you did it and think a 10K (law school, library masters) would have been a better choice.

I am feeling more like that guy in "Office Space" who has multiple incompetent bosses that have nothing better to do than pass out identical memos, force their employees to read them, and then come by and verify that you got them.
Such is my university's official emails, day after day.
