NeoMatrix:
My preferred relaxation unfortunately requires solitude and a nearby river. I grew up in the waterlogged Southern U.S. (see username for a big clue on where) so when I'm close to a navigable body of water I feel more at home. I thank you for the suggestion of just taking some "cool down" time. Staycations are much less expensive.
Emujo:
that made me chuckle and realize how I came across.
Blackcat:
I stand inspired knowing that it is possible to continue in this profession for a number of years and outgrow the severe frustration. Thank you for reminding me that we are all human, especially the people who ask how long it will take me to replace the exit drive clutch in the fuser drive assembly when they don't know I had never done it before.
Iowatech:
I should have more clearly labeled my post as unsafe for mixed company, I apologize for failing to think that clearly and mark it appropriately.
To all else:
I hereby apologize for my unprofessional outburst. Some internal emotions should be kept internal, rationalized internally, debated internally and only the clear and calm result should then be released upon the general public.
I maintain the right to my own thoughts and feelings, and I will try in future to maintain an air of professionalism to the extent I am able. If I feel the need to vent I will label my post accordingly and I will read what I type three times before clicking "submit reply", something I should have learned to do by now.
