No this is not about you, If it were only you I could handle that it just seems that everyone is complaining all the time recently and I am the go to guy &#8211; a one man complaint department.

I do complain a lot but you are used to it. I am worse in the mornings. I will have to go over my post and try to not make it sound so harsh then, well if I get around to it.
