Amen.

And you're not a security guard at a Walmart on Black Friday.... eek

I want to slap some of my coworkers that are incessantly whining and complaining about everything.

That was my biggest frustration during hurricane Gustav (unit without main power/ac for several days)I put a "NO WHINING" sign in the nurses station.

I've told some of the young ones around me (ad nauseum) that I've zipped enough people into body bags that inclement weather, traffic, unpleasant fast food wage slaves, etc doesn't bother me.

I'm going to enjoy it all while I got it.

Having said that, it doesn't eliminate stress completely (given the killer stress headache I'm enjoying at the moment compliments of my job), just puts it in perspective.

I'm off to hug my wife and child and go to bed....
