		<description>Sounds like you confuse acceptance with resignation, like somehow accepting that the Clown Palace was where you were working right now meant would have meant  being resigned to it being your lot in life.  Accepting something doesn't mean liking it, it just means not denying it's there.
Accepting we had a problem was a prerequisite to doing something about it; accepting that you were not going to ever be happy at the clown palace was a prerequisite to finding something better.
Congratulations, by the way.</description>
