OR perhaps you believe people "should" all get along. Well, nowhere is that a universal law or written in stone, so once you let go of the "should" and think "Ok, some people are beahving badly. I don't like their actions, but that doesn't mean they should be polite and nice. People are people and we're all fallible humans. I'll just stay away from Admin for awhile."

A sort of 8 week self-improvement time? A time to eat better, exercise, do special things for people. Read psychology books, do lots of writing. What do you think?
