Google PR - no pain no gain

The quarterly Google page rank updates are due again soon. Are you holding on to your horses in the anticipation? I know I 'm not - this time round. Last time I was fit to burst when The Pisstakers arrived in the twilight zone of PR5. I still don't know how or why, but I wasn't going to argue. But this latest round will be a non-event for me, because it takes an almighty increase in fortunes to bridge the gap to PR6, and after a series of techie-type setbacks coinciding with the usual summer slowdown, the growth of traffic has been steady but hopefully not meteoric enough to impress Google.
I say, hopefully, for good reason. In my opinion stats, of which Google PR is just one of many, are a lottery with anything from zero to a little meaning. And if they just hand out high PR without making you sweat really hard for them, the ranking would have zero significance in my book.
So, Googloids, appeal to my Capricorn mindset of no pain no gain and make me sweat, baby. Give me another year of plugging away before you catapault me into the upper echelons of PR6, please. And don't shatter my illusions, by dropping me down a PR. That really would have me wondering why I bother appealing to the Google robots with my choices of titles and keywords.
What are your expectations as far as page rank is concerned. Do you even give a rat's ass?
