And I bet you barely looked at your fingers while you were typing.

But I am going to keep a positive attitude. Makes no sense to be upset and resentful, my points have been made so now my job is going to be just a meditation in detachment, doing the work for the sake of the work, personal feelings not getting in the way. The "take this job and shove it" mentality, I have noticed, actually keeps people where they don't want to be because they get addicted to the ups and downs. There may even be some Stockholm Syndrome involved. I know people who "love to hate their jobs" and I don't want need that.

My ego, trying to be "the best" all the time, and being upset when my efforts aren't recognized, is the exact stress that kept me there. I'm just going to do my best for it's own reward. Now that my ego isn't involved, I can leave without those pointless resentments eating away at me.
