Madam President (being written while humming Hail to the Chief),
Your post on PBA got me to thinking (a very dangerous thing, just ask anyone who knows me well) about my three daily phases of posting here (or not)...
Phase 1: I wake up full of piss and vinegar ready to get in the face of anyone who pisses me off. I read this board and don't post (especially lately)because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I will say something to someone that I will regret later and have to apologize. Being your typical male, I really hate to apologize. And I do dislike hurting other people's feelings. My T taught me the 8 hour rule, if something really makes you angry, wait 8 hours to say anything. If you still feel angry after the 8 hours, then say something and you'll likely have a lot cooler head. It really does work.
Phase 2: I've had my Adderall and 5 cups of coffee and I'm feeling a lot more focused :) Unfortunately most of the time I'm so busy at work the only time I have to come here is at lunch. But I don't get so pushed out of shape by opinions I don't agree with. To each their own you know? I spend more time getting caught up on my reading and e-mails than I do writing.
Phase 3: This is the time I hate. I get home from work and I'm really tired and I become the hyper-sensitive person you talked about. Everything hurts my feelings and I take things VERY personally. This is when Shar usually gives me a ration of S**T.... I cave whenever anybody pushes back. I really need to work on that and develop tougher skin.
Or maybe I just need to get my meds adjusted? Whaddya think?
