I have it.
Someone attacked me anonymously on one of my other blogs, denounced my writing, said bad things about me and hurt my feelings. I have a feeling I know them - (they're in the UK, they seem to know enough about me, they use my first name with other ...

I really want to get out of the rat race.
Not so much the 9-5 thing because I'm most alert during 11 am to about 3 pm and can get the most done during then but definitely the traffic commute. It takes me between 60 and 90 minutes to get to ...
