Chris Tulino offers this cheeky view on project managers:

Every project manager I know is looking for a "good" project. A project that is not a nightmare, where success can happen. This is similar to the hopeless romantics looking for true love. It's not that it doesn't exist. It's just not practical to spend time looking for it. If you get lucky, you get lucky. But for the most part, you just buckle down and do the best you can with every situation that arises. If you work at it hard enough, in six months, this project could become a great project. But you can't just will it to be great and you won't just find it out there somewhere.

Chris hasn't posted for awhile, but when he does it shouldn't be missed. He's got a great twist on a Yankee Swap he calls Cut-Throat Pollyanna. I'm already looking forward to next Christmas!
