Addicted to the next level

I don't know if it started with Pac Man or a simple game of TV tennis or even the big version of Pin Ball . I really noticed it, when I was introduced to Super Mario Brothers. What I am talking about is the spirit of competition. The drive to push myself to the next level. Competing against my current level of accomplishment to score a higher number. The inner rate of frustration which grows from being timed and getting the points is so against my everyday way of thinking. I am normally very relaxed and easy going. However, this reflects the job values I had with my last job. I had an inside rigid code of being on time and working harder and faster. I was in a constant fight with the fact that no one stood over me with a clock or sanctioned me for not meeting a quota. The computer games drive up the level of frustration, because I have to keep fighting to keep every point I get on the game. For instance, the bass fishing game, I would assume would be a nice easy toss the line in the water and catch the fish. The bass fishing game is timed and the boat moves back and forth with a motor only for a short time. Pretty soon there is a guy who has to use a paddle to reach the area where you toss the line in order to catch the fish. If I am down to the last second and have a fish on my fishing line, I still lose the point. The fish is on the line, but not tossed in the boat. The game says "He got away". I yell in frustration "Nooo!!" I feel like the kid who claims it isn't fair, because I really tried to get the point. I felt like I deserved the point. I even change games to see if my expectations were lowered, due to a different game. The game starts out with an acceptance, but grew to a I should have been able to do it better. Why didn't I get a better score?
