    I personally have tried to take the tact of looking for good things to look at and report on... if you're looking for something bad, odds are you're gonna find it.
    I'm 100% with you on both of your posts. I have a bad tendency of saying exactly what I'm thinking, and being pessimistic, and letting every little thing bother me. I really get aggravated seeing what others have, and are given, while I'm busting my balls just to get by, but in the end, I need to remember that I AM getting by, and I shouldn't be worried about what others are doing.

    Not recently but I am always amazed at how patient I am and have become since my teens.

    I cannot remember the last time I let emotion take control or had an emotional response (that was physical) triggered by someone's actions.

    This is actually one of my wife's pet peeves about me. I won't fight with her. She calls me a vulcan.

    I have learned that moving sucks, moving across the country REALLY SUCKS. What the real kicker is, my wife is a F'n pack rat. Thank god for large dumpsters. Oh, the last thing I learned is to never stick your neck out for people. F'n baglickers.

    I'm way more patient than many of my coworkers, which is surprising because I'd figure the more time on the job people have the more they learned to deal with people.

    Guess that's not the case though.

    I'm not 57 yet but I quit trusting them after the Mexican restaurant incident.

    In a former life I had a job that tested my patience a whole lot in some ways similar to what you have to deal with. I can tell you from experience that you do not get more as time progresses. That is one reason why I resigned that job.

    It applies to a number of things...

    Today I learned that 160 rounds of .280 Ackley with a Magpul PRS factory recoil pad will make it hard to even tie your shoes after the range trip. So I guess I learned I'm getting soft.
