Such an applicable image to post (Michael Scott talking to Toby Flenderson: Why are you the way that you are?). It kind of shows the dichotomy between the optimist and the realist.
Toby is grounded and a realist and focuses on details. But he is also a sad sack who expects ill fortune. I think one of his classic quotes is "it is better to have roommates than friends, because roommates have to give you at least one month's notice before they leave." To Michael Scott, the eternal optimist, Tony is always a downer pitted against Michael's thinking. He frustrates Michael to the point that Michael says: "If I had a gun with two bullets, and I was in a room with Hitler, bin-Laden and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice." I don't expect we'll get to that level here.
