it's simple but in front of me and back of me

You want achievement? I'll give you achievement:

1) I went next door and spoke to my neighbours about their roof and my damp. I didn't die, or anything.
2) I went to the gym and kicked the cross-trainer's arse. Tomorrow I suspect that my arse will also feel kicked.
3) I didn't shout, scream or even throw things during tonight's staff meeting. Not much, anyhow.
