Friends, you may have noticed a crankiness and intolerance in my recent postings. I have been taking everything way too personally, and that has to stop. I apologize to all whom I have offended. And, if I haven’t gotten around to pissing you off, realize that it is just a matter of time.
I also have been a massive buttinsky. I find I’ve been posting on some threads more to stick in my two cents than to actually contribute to the discussion.
Therefore, I am going to trade some of the time I spend here for more sleep time. That should help, both to leave me more rested and to improve my perspective. This is, after all, “just” a message board.
I’m not GONE gone. I’m just tired of regretting hitting the “Submit Reply” button. And bone tired. I average five or six hours of sleep a night (it’s not all my fault–some people in my house don’t have to get up NEARLY as early as I do, and I sleep sorta centrally), I have to prescription dope myself to get that much (the upside of my meds is that I’m fairly not-unhappy; the downside is that they don’t help my already-insomniac sleep patterns), and I’m growing away from my family (for other reasons, but this doesn’t help). More sleep + happier me = more pleasant experience here.
And folks, Im glad I haven’t had the chance to say mean things to or about you. I don’t want that to happen, either.
Thanks for the nice words, you people I haven’t pissed off, but this isn’t really for you. I guess I’m going to have to go AA and make specific apologies:
Matt_McL, I’m sorry I am a bossy jerk. You remind me of the son I never had, except gay and Canadian, and I get paternal the moment you open your mouth. I shouldn’t do that.
techchick68, I’m sorry I am a nosy, bossy jerk. I worry about your health, as if it were any of my business. I will try to stop that.
Satan, I’m sorry I am an obnoxious bossy jerk. We got off to a bad start and I haven’t entirely put it behind me, I guess.
Jebus and Drainthelizard, I don’t know. You still seem like jerks, so I guess I’m not sorry for anything I said or wanted to say.
I know this is going to sound bad but I noticed. BUT it doesn’t mean that I like you any less (boy, I know you’re relieved now!!) Sometimes people just have rough weeks and then things get better! Get some good sleep and come back and be the same wonderful poster we all know you are (or we think you can be ;)) However, if you get some sleep and you’re still cranky–we’re going to have to spank you!
Well, since I am generally ignored, I haven’t noticed any bossy/bitchy attitude geared at me. I have seen some posts (Not just by you, dz) that have been way to personal or involved for the situation. Sometimes I think people take stuff too far or too seriously (Sometimes though it is quite the opposite).
You’re cool dropzone. Not many people can realize that they might have done something to upset people.
