PS - if you've got three urinals, the farthest reserved for the boss, and every time you walked in the bathroom he was camped in the middle urinal, you not only wouldn't be annoyed, but couldn't relate?

And that is why I deleted the snark, I'm far far far from perfect. I think the appearance of the empathetic reaction is a wonderful thing. I am personally much happier when I feel that way. I am definitely more than capable of finding fault in everything in the world around me and resenting all of it and am absolutely miserable when I'm living that way.
