Been having to convince people at work this morning I didn't need to go to the hospital and that I'm okay. But everyone at work has been very kind so far.
That's good.

@dafyre I'm doing alright now. Someone will eventually have to take over for @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch though, becoming the new guru's of ML. I'd like to be at least in the upper echelon of sysadmins

Well, if you're using the term red herring, it sounds like you are well on your way! lol.

I'm pretty high up there but the percentage of actually helpful posts is very low. That will be fixed the more I study though.

I managed to find a job that really isn't hard, pays decently, I get along with EVERYONE minus one person, and that person poses ZERO threat to me. I've finally learned the lesson "not my circus, not my monkeys". I do what I'm asked, and when I leave at the end of the day, I don't give the job a thought until I arrive the next day.

Just keep holding on to that. You need to do that for a long time. It only takes one bad moment of thinking it is your monkeys for it to fall apart. Stay relaxed, head down, do a good job and you should be good.

That's exactly what I've been doing. I think back to situations I've encountered in previous jobs where I made certain mistakes, overstepped bounds, etc. I made those mistakes too many times. And when I came here, I swore I wouldn't do that anymore. So far, I've done excellent with it. I haven't been perfect, but pretty damn close, and it's working for me. I'm not an easy case, but for all those that have invested their time, energy, money and support in me, I'll be damned if I don't make them proud of their decision.

I'm tired of being the "kid" who has potential but keeps f***ing himself over. I'm done with that. I'm still going to make plenty of mistakes, but at least I can say I'm not going to keep repeating dumb moves I have made in the past. Time for me to grow up, and I'm finally getting there.
